The general director of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar is Nasser Al-Khater, who spoke with the media on Thursday.
The director of the FIFA World Cup made quite a scandalous statement about the deaths of migrant workers, of whom, it is reported, there were more than 6 thousand while preparing for this football event, especially in building stadiums.
Starting the press conference, N. Al-Khater responded to a question with a question.
"We currently have a successful World Cup and that is something you want to talk about, right?"
"Death is a natural part of life, whether it happens at work or while sleeping. Of course, a worker died. Our condolences go to his family," - the Qatari emphasized the death of only one worker.
Moreover, N. Al-Khater later spoke to "Reuters" and denied the information about the death of more than one worker.
"Everything that was said or spoken about the deaths of workers was all a lie. Many journalists must ask themselves why they have not let go of this topic for so long," - answered the general director of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar to "Reuters".
