The World Cup in Qatar is just around the corner. But that doesn't mean it is completely accepted since it will always be in the shadow of the corruption scandals that FIFA leaders made to choose the Middle Eastern host. Despite the fact that this corruption was denounced, the country remained the venue for the most important football tournament in the world.

But corruption is not the only thing Qatar has against it. The abuses suffered by thousands of workers in the construction of the stadiums for the tournament have already been denounced. In addition to documenting the abuse suffered by migrant workers in these construction sites.

Furthermore, the laws in Qatar basically stalled three centuries ago. The middle-east has law restrictions against homosexuality, making it illegal and anyone who has a same-sex partner will end up in jail. To stand up against this discriminatory abuse, the captains of eight different European national teams will unite against these laws.

All together in UEFA

The captains of the Wales, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland teams will wear an armband as a symbol of protest against these legislations. About that the English captain, Harry Kane commented "We can only do what we can and I think we have definitely taken a step forward to help some of the issues out there in Qatar."
