Australia’s governing body has been relatively quiet to date on the issue with Socceroos players so far taking the lead

A spokesperson for FA told Guardian Australia that it has been engaged in an ongoing “process of education and dialogue to gather information on the situation regarding the preservation of human rights and worker welfare in connection with the hosting of the Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022.”

This scrutiny on FA’s own direct impact is expected to continue during the tournament. “The players will continue to work with FA to ensure that every measure possible is taken to ensure they do not contribute to harm through their participation at the World Cup and that in the event harm occurs, there is access to effective remedy,” says PFA co-chief executive Kathryn Gill, a former Matildas player.
