Football's world governing body FIFA will be warned by labour organisations that it faces an international campaign to move the 2022 World Cup from Qatar unless it ensures the host nation respects workers' rights.
International union representatives have presented FIFA president Sepp Blatter with a letter telling him of the campaign 'No World Cup in Qatar without labour rights'.
FIFA agreed to meet the unions after a trade union report on migrant workers in Qatar and United Arab Emirates criticised "inhuman" conditions this year.
The International Trade Union Confederation says unions are continuing to receive reports of unsafe working conditions and abuse of workers' rights as Qatar sets out to build nine stadiums in 10 years using mostly migrant labour.
ITUC general secretary Sharan Burrow says FIFA has the power to make labour rights a requirement of the Qatari authorities who are hosting a World Cup.
The ITUC says labour organisations will mobilise workers and football fans to target each of FIFA's football associations and the international body to stop the World Cup in Qatar if labour rights are not respected.
