WORLD CUP TRAGEDY

Qatar is investigating the death of a Filipino migrant worker who reportedly was killed while doing repairs at the Sealine Beach resort that had served as the Saudi team’s training base during the World Cup. Nasser Al Khater, the head of Qatar’s organizing committee for the World Cup, expressed his condolences to the family of the worker who was fixing lights at the compound of villas, according to the US-based sports website The Athletic. It said he slipped off a ramp while walking alongside a forklift and fell headfirst against concrete. Qatar has come under heavy scrutiny over conditions for migrant workers who have done the labor in the country’s massive building campaign for the World Cup, including $200 billion worth of stadiums, metro lines and other infrastructure.
