In the discussion about compensation for migrant workers at the football World Cup in Qatar, the German Football Association sees the world association FIFA as having an obligation. The “#boycottQatar2022” initiative had asked DFB President Bernd Neuendorf in an open letter that the association use its prize money at the World Cup for migrant workers in the host country Qatar and their families.
If the world football association refuses to set up a compensation fund, “we expect the DFB to use its prize money (between 9 and 42 million dollars depending on the placement) independently for compensation payments,” says a letter published by the initiative. “The DFB internationals should donate any prize money for the same purpose.”

In this context, the DFB referred to paragraph 6 of the FIFA Human Rights Policy. It states that FIFA is committed to providing or working towards redress for adverse human rights impacts it has caused or contributed to, and to providing those affected with access to redress.
