Concerns and Criticism
These gargantuan stadiums have come at a huge cost, not just financially speaking. According to multiple independant sources such as The Guardian, at least 6500 workers have died in the construction phase so far. The workforce is made up of many migrant workers from Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan. This means that on average 10 workers have died per week since Qatar received the World Cup bid in 2010.
There are many causes, such as unsafe working conditions, suicide and extreme temperatures. Other reports have also brought to light that many migrant workers have there passports taken away from them upon arrival in Qatar. In general, there are many concerns regarding human rights in the wealthy Middle Eastern country.

Completing the range, the away jersey arrives in dark blue with clean white contrast piping along the collar, cuffs, and shoulder inserts for a classic aesthetic.

Unveiled during Milan Fashion Week in partnership with the Camera Moda Fashion Trust, the bespoke shirt was created in collaboration with Italian fashion designer Giuseppe Buccinnà and serves as the centerpiece of a capsule collection celebrating the Friulian club's 130th anniversary.
The Macron Udinese 26-27 third shirt is built around an off-white cream base complemented by bold black curved side panels and piping that evoke mid-2000s kit silhouettes. Tone-on-tone geometric star textures are woven into the fabric structure, while subtle gold accents trim the sleeve edges. Most distinctively, Udinese's standard crest is replaced on the left chest with a commemorative star emblem dedicated to the club's founding in 1896.
Finishing details include Buccinnà's signature placed right above the embroidered Macron Hero on the chest, along with black back-neck detailing that displays "Designed in Bologna" and the iconic Friulian rallying cry "FUARCE UDIN" in gold lettering. The new third uniform is available immediately through official Udinese and Macron stores.
