Brazilian FA back Infantino's 'muzzle' call but did Tite get the memo?



November 15 - The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has voiced its guide to Gianni Infantino's coverage at the World Cup in Qatar.

In a statement, the CBF said: "We accept as true FIFA's request that the main concern of the sporting community be football before and during the next World Cup."

“We fully agree that collectively with FIFA, the Qatari authorities and others, non-football issues are being addressed in the truth that football can be a strength for a effective trade in societies around the arena."

He introduced: "For football without prejudice."

Announcement follows South American regional governance framework Conmebol backing Infantino's questionable demand for the 32 World Cup finalists to stick to football in the World Finals and not be drawn into political backlash or ideological. It is also the testimony of a flourishing meeting between the new president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, and the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, who met in Paris after Brazil's friendly match with Tunisia, their last day trip before Qatar.

However, ahead of the friendly match against Tunisia, Brazilian education Tite no longer seems to toe the company line and expressed support for a compensation fund for migrants who have suffered human rights violations. man and labor in the host country of the World Cup.< /p>

"I would always like to see greater social equality. I will support a movement for extraordinary social equality, not just in Qatar, but everywhere. Where human beings have more social equality, more opportunities, more schooling, where there are teachers because some basics are essential,” Tite said.

"My education is rooted in my surroundings, my friends and our teachers, and they are present in all of us. For people to have a fairer, more egalitarian society, whether or not they are in Qatar or elsewhere. For the human side. I'm going to help him, guide him... In relation to the fund? The same."

Earlier this year, a coalition of human rights companies called on FIFA and Qatar to compensate migrant workers with the #PayUpFIFA campaign, demanding a $440 million fund, the equivalent of the prize money that will be awarded during the World Cup.

In 2010, Qatar was granted hosting rights for the World Cup as the Gulf state came under scrutiny for its human rights record and labor regulations.

Much of the abuse concerns the kafala system, which is generic in the Gulf countries. It ties a “foreign” worker to a sponsor, who cedes “unchecked powers over migrant workers, freeing them from liability for labor and human rights abuses, and leaving people accountable for debts and regularly fearing reprisals". with Human Rights Watch.

World Cup organizers in Qatar and their region have always argued that worker welfare standards have improved significantly. But there would still be over 5,000 dead to our bodies and countless others seriously injured at construction sites across the country.
