COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish players will travel to the 2022 World Cup without their families, local media reported on Tuesday, as the Danish FA (DBU) wants to play down activities in Qatar in protest at the country's record on football of human rights. According to DBU communications manager Jakob Hoyer, "We don't want to assist make money for Qatar." As a result, we have scaled back on our travel as much as feasible. The spouses and girlfriends of players had previously traveled with the board for World Cup finals, but as I indicated, we canceled those visits for those finals.
Human rights organizations and the media have harshly criticized Qatar for how
it treats migrant labor. An analysis by the Guardian newspaper in February 2021 concluded that 6,500 South Asian migrants had died in Qatar since 2010 and the International Labor Organization said Qatar was not adequately reporting worker deaths.
The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), which organized the World Cup in Qatar, refuted the assertion that "thousands of lives were lost throughout the competition." The government refuted a 2021 Amnesty International report alleging that thousands of migrant workers were still being exploited and instead claimed that its labor system was still under construction. The Denmark World Cup uniform, according to sportswear manufacturer Hummel, was created as a statement of protest against Qatar's human rights record.
In addition to releasing a black uniform, Hummel claimed to have toned down the design of Denmark's World Cup jerseys. According to local media last week, the DBU has cut back on board member travel to Qatar.
Only one Denmark game may be attended by each of them, and no more than two
board members may attend any one of their games. The World Cup campaign of
Denmark begins on November 22 when they play Tunisia.
