More than 6,500 migrant (người di cư) workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, the Guardian can reveal.

...In the past 10 years, Qatar has embarked on (bắt tay vào) an unprecedented (vô tiền khoáng hậu) building (xây dựng) programme, largely in preparation for the football tournament (giải bóng đá) in 2022. In addition to seven new stadiums (sân vận động), dozens of major projects have been completed or are under way, including a new airport, roads, public transport systems, hotels and a new city, which will host the World Cup final.

While death records are not categorised by occupation or place of work, it is likely many workers who have died were employed on these World Cup infrastructure projects (dự án cơ sở hạ tầng), says Nick McGeehan, a director at FairSquare Projects, an advocacy group specialising in labour rights in the Gulf. “A very significant proportion of the migrant workers who have died since 2011 were only in the country because Qatar won the right to host the World Cup,” he said.
