# Soccer: Amnesty International says world governing body Fifa’s reckless decision to award the 2034 men’s World Cup to Saudi Arabia without ensuring adequate human rights protections, will put many lives at risk. The country has been accused of sportswashing in recent years, using its unprecedented spending on sports to improve its reputation over its human rights record and environmental impact. Amnesty says Fifa knows workers will be exploited and even die without fundamental reforms, and has chosen to press ahead regardless.
