Two weeks after the start of Qatar World Cup 2022 (November 20-December 18), fans of the Borussia Dortmund and the mythical ‘Yellow Wall’ expressed this Saturday their opposition to the organization of the tournament.
Before the entry of the Borussia Dortmund players and the start of the derby against Bochum, the supporters of the Yellow Wall, the stand where the ultra fans gather, unfurled a huge banner along the grandstand with the message “BOYCOTT QATAR 2022” with letters in yellow and black, the colors of the club.

Other messages were also shown in the famous stands, such as “Turn off Qatar” with a television in the background, “Cold beer instead of heated stadiums” or “A human catastrophe”.
Referring to the death toll at World Cup stadium construction sites, Dortmund fans were outraged: “More deaths than minutes played”, while in Qatar a total of 5,760 minutes of football (64 games of 90 minutes) will be played.
The total of 6,500 deaths reported by the British newspaper The Guardian in early 2021 is questionable. Corresponds to all deaths recorded in the population from South Asia between 2010 and 2020, which include all causes.
Officially, there have been three deaths in the eight World Cup stadiums. A report from the International Labor Organization (ILO), who has an office in Doha, It concluded that 50 workers died in workplace accidents in 2020 and another 500 were seriously injured.
They also pointed to that country for the issue of homosexuality, since in Qatar it is prohibited. (Cristian ‘Chicho’ Arango: curious way of celebrating the title in the USA, video)
