This year’s World Cup starts in November, but Qatar is clouded by labor and human rights issues. There’s now a push for the North American cities awarded games for the 2026 tournament to commit to livable wages, equitable hiring and worker protections.
Qatari officials and FIFA have said the World Cup has accelerated positive changes in the nation’s laws and society. And indeed, the nation has introduced a minimum wage and dismantled the “kafala” sponsorship system binding workers to their employer.
Four years ago when the joint bid was awarded, there were concerns about the implications of then-President Donald Trump’s orders barring travel to the United States from a number of Muslim-majority countries. Trump later assured FIFA that travel for the event would not be impeded, and President Joseph Biden subsequently overturned the orders.
Dan Hunt, the president of FC Dallas and head of that city’s bid committee, said the 2026 World Cup is unique because the stadiums already are in place, so there will not be massive construction projects. The Dallas area’s bid centered around AT&T Stadium in Arlington, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
