Tomorrow the FIFA World Cup kicks off in Qatar, which has been criticized in part because of the conditions of thousands of migrant workers who are preparing the country for the tournament, and the lack of human rights in the country.
The FIFA president said he himself knows what it feels like to be discriminated against because he was bullied as a child at school when he came to Switzerland as an Italian.
According to him, he is said to have told the host country Qatar that the situation of the migrant workers was not good when he saw how they were doing.

The ones who really give these people a chance are Qatar and FIFA. Moreover, he noted, Europe should not be lecturing others.
– What we Europeans have done over the past 3,000 years, we must apologize for 3,000 years before we give our moral cookies to other people.
