>> Reporter: FIFA IS SUPPOSED 
CULTURE OF CORRUPTION IS 
INTERNATIONAL SPORT'S WORST KEPT
SECRET.
THIS IS THE GROUP THAT CHOSE 
QATAR TO HOSE THE WORLD CUP. 
>> 122 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
YOU ARE HOSTING THE WORLD CUP 
SOMEWHERE WHERE SOCCER CANNOT 
PHYSICALLY BE PLAYED. 
>> THE MOST DEADLY MIDDLE EAST 
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SINCE THIS 
ONE.
>> Reporter: THE SPARKING 
OUTRAGE AMONG COMEDIANS, BRIBERY
IS TAKING A HUMAN TOLL.
5,200 FOR THE WORLD MATCHES?
QATAR.
NOT THE NUMBER OF FANS OR 
SPECTATOR, THE NUMBER OF WORKERS
EXPECTED TO DIE BUILDING THE 
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GAMES BY 
2022.
ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL 
TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION.
THE GROUP SAYS AT LEAST 1,200 
DEATHS HAVE ALREADY STEMMED FROM
THE HEAT AND THE LIVING 
CONDITIONS, WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS,
AND OTHER CAUSES.
>> THE CRISIS OF THE DAY IS A 
CRISIS OF CORRUPTION AND GRAFT 
THAT IS ON FULL DISPLAY FOR THE 
WORLD.
BUT THE CRISIS OF THE NEXT EIGHT
YEARS IS GOING TO BE COFFINS 
GOING HOME TO FAMILIES IN SOUTH 
ASIA.
>> Reporter: MOST OF THE 
WORKFORCE IN QATAR COMES FROM 
OUTSIDE THE TINY NATION.
MANY FROM NEPAL, RETURNED TO 
FAMILIES IN COFFINS SUCH AS 
THIS.
>> THEY'VE LEFT THEIR HOMES TO 
TRY TO WORK FOR A BETTER LIFE.
ONCE THEY GET TO QATAR THEY'RE 
FINDING SITUATIONS THAT IN MANY 
CASES AMOUNT TO FORCED LABOR AND
MODERN DAY SLAVERY. 
>> Reporter: THEY WORK UNDER THE
KAFALA SIM, RELYING ON EMPLOYERS
FOR HOUSING, PASSPORTS AND MONEY
AND EVEN PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE
COUNTRY.
OF COURSE, IT FEELS LIKE PRISON,
THIS WORKER SAYS.
NOBODY LIKES IT, BUT WE HAVE NO 
CHOICE. 
>> IF YOUR EMPLOYER IS ABUSIVE 
OR FORCES YOU TO WORK LONG 
HOURS, TO LIVE IN SQUALID 
CONDITIONS THERE'S REALLY 
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. 
>> Reporter: FIFA COULD HAVE 
DONE SOMETHING.
LIKE, NOT AN ESTIMATED $200 
BILLION PROJECT BUY A HISTORY OF
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE BUT ACCORDING
TO SEVERAL PUBLISHED REPORTS, 
BRIBES TOOK PRECEDENT.
QATAR RECENTLY INSTITUTED 
WORKPLACE REFORMS BUT CRITICS 
ARE UNCONVINCED.
LAST YEAR, WORKERS ARE THE 
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMPANIES 
WHO HIRE THEM, NOT OF FIFA.
FANS ARE SPEAKING UP.
ARTISTS ONLINE ARE HOSTING 
ALTERED LOGOS SUCH AS THESE TO 
DRAW THE ATTENTION OF SPONSORS.
VISA AND ADIDAS EXPRESSED 
CONCERN SAYING THEIR URGING FIFA
TO TAKE ACTION.
WEDNESDAY FIVE FORMER AND 
CURRENT PLAYERS CALLED FOR 
CHANGE IN AN OPEN LETTER TO THE 
GUARDIAN WRITING WE STAND WITH 
THE WORKERS IN QATAR.
SO WHILE WE'RE ALL TERRIBLY 
OFFENDED BY THE $150 MILLION IN 
ALLEGED BRIBES AND THE FACT THAT
FIFA EXECUTIVES ALLEGEDLY LIVE 
LIKE CZARS, THERE MAY BE 
SOMETHING SLIGHTLY MORE
