Australian soccer players spoke out against Qatar's human rights record ahead of the World Cup, addressing the host nation's treatment of migrant workers.
"We acknowledge the significant progress and legislative reforms have occurred in Qatar over recent years to recognize and protect the rights of workers, and we encourage all stakeholders to continue this path to reform," the statement said. "However, we have also learned that the tournament has been associated with suffering for some migrant workers and their families."
