January camps of the national team will take place in Qatar

"We consider that it is very advantageous to visit the country where we are going, if we wish, to play the final of the World Cup 2022 and to understand the conditions." Moreover, we will be able to play against Finland, who also has his camp in Qatar at the same time, "said Stefan Pettersson, head of landscape management.

In connection with the camp SvFF representatives will meet representatives of the World Cup project, the Qatar Football Federation and international organizations in a Nordic delegation. Having the World Cup in Qatar has been criticized for the lack of human rights in the country and thousands of guest workers have died as part of the construction of arenas.

SvFF writes that "critical discussions" on the conditions of employment of guest workers, and the delegation will inspect several arenas.

"We must be realistic and understand that it is highly unlikely that the 2022 World Cup will be played anywhere but Qatar." In view of this fact, we feel it is our duty to reiterate the obvious requirement that the guest labor force in the country – used to build the World Cup stadium – must guarantee reasonable working conditions – all else is unacceptable, says Håkan Sjöstrand, Secretary General of the SvFF.
