Qatar has come under intense scrutiny for the way it treats these workers.
How many foreign workers have worked on World Cup projects?
Qatar has built seven stadiums for the World Cup finals as well as a new airport, metro system, series of roads and about 100 new hotels.
An entire city has been constructed around the stadium which will host the final match.
Qatar’s government says that 30,000 foreign labourers were hired just to build the stadiums. Most come from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and the Philippines.
