Fifa to scan Qatar labour conditions

Doha - Fifa-appointed human rights expert advised that tournaments should be moved from countries where abuses persisted.

Fifa will create a panel to monitor construction at World Cup stadiums in Qatar to ensure "decent working conditions".
During his first working visit to Qatar on Friday, Fifa president Gianni Infantino said the group will include "relevant sectors of civil society and other relevant Fifa stakeholders".
Last week, a Fifa-appointed human rights expert from Harvard University advised that tournaments should be moved from countries where abuses persisted.
"We take our responsibility seriously and are committed to playing our part," Infantino said.
