The Canadian soccer federation joined a campaign calling for more rights for workers and the LGBTQ community in Qatar on Friday, just days after the country hosted the World Cup at the end of November.
“Canada Soccer supports continued progress on workers’ rights and inclusion,” the organization said in a statement, adding that “FIFA itself has recognized these important issues.”

Although it recognizes that progress has been made, the federation wants to “ensure that these reforms translate into tangible improvements” that go beyond competition.
“We believe that one of the legacies of this tournament should be to inspire and foster further improvements in this area, not just in Qatar, but across the region,” Canada Soccer said.
Since FIFA awarded the World Cup to Qatar in 2010, the first Arab country to host the event has been criticized for its treatment of foreign workers, the LGBTQ community and women.
The wealthy Gulf state, which has spent tens of billions of dollars to host the tournament from November 20 to December 18, has expressed growing outrage at the criticism.
