The World Cup

About this resource

This could link with the Kick It Out campaign against discrimination.  An idea would be to devise a letter to its trustees to highlight the issue of the deaths of Nepali workers in Qatar.  One of the tag lines of the Kick It Out Campaign is that it is “the voice of ethical football”.  What is the price of ethics compared to the national game?
