In the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup, FIFA has expanded its tournaments across countries where workers face serious risks and protections remain weak, raising renewed concerns about the human cost of football’s biggest event.

In this episode of Photo Evidence, we use verified photos, videos, and reporting to trace how World Cups are built, from Qatar to Morocco to Saudi Arabia, and to document the labour abuses, unexplained deaths, and silenced dissent that continue to follow FIFA’s tournaments.

The episode breaks down FIFA’s power structure, from its one-nation-one-vote system and the flow of development funds, to its reliance on host governments and construction deadlines, explaining how these incentives repeatedly undermine accountability for worker safety and human rights.

It also examines why, despite public scandals and promises of reform, the same patterns keep re-emerging, and what FIFA’s current trajectory means for the millions of workers who will build the next decade of World Cups.
