Inside the Qatar World Cup – Episode 1

How did we get here? Sports broadcaster Kate Mason travels back to 2010 and finds out how Qatar’s migrant worker crisis unfolded – and continues to endure to this day. 

She speaks to three workers about their experiences in the country, including one man who helped build some of the World’s Cup most prestigious venues. Their stories paint a stark, bleak picture of the abusive conditions suffered by those on which this tournament has been built.

This is Episode 1 of Inside the Qatar World Cup, winner of Best Audio Documentary at the Sports Journalism Awards in 2023. Originally broadcast on the Football Ramble podcast feed in November 2022.
