The Netherlands’ 2022 FIFA World Cup shirts will be auctioned off to benefit migrant laborers in Qatar, according to the Dutch football association Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond (KNVB). Following a discussion with the players, the KNVB has concluded that the profits of the digital sale will be utilized to enhance the conditions of migrant workers, as stated on the KNVB’s official site.

The KNVB is one of the handful of football organizations to express concern about human rights and working pressures in Qatar. The migrant workers and foreigners bring up a large percentage of the 2.8 million citizenries in Qatar.
