The Sports Desk - Qatar 2022: Can football be a catalyst for change?
Download Qatar 2022: Can football be a catalyst for change?
With the spotlight on Qatar for the World Cup draw, we assess whether football can bring progress in a country blighted by human rights concerns.
We hear from a migrant worker on the tough conditions endured while building World Cup stadia and bring you a rare interview with the man in charge of delivering the tournament, Hassan Al-Thawadi.
Plus, what should we expect from the players themselves? Should they use their platforms to address human rights concerns or focus on the football? Listen to the views of England captain Harry Kane and Croatia midfielder Lovro Majer.
Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Mani Djazmi
Producer: Sam Sheringham
