The Workers Cup Film is a documentary feature film directed by Adam Sobel
and produced by Ramzy Haddad and Rosie Garthwaite about a group of migrant
workers in Qatar. The Workers Cup is set inside the labour labor camps of
Qatar, where the FIFA World Cup is being built on the backs of 1.6 million
migrant workers. The film follows a team of labourers laborers living a
real-life version of fantasy football. By day they sweat to build the World
Cup; by night they compete in a âworkers welfareâ football tournament,
playing in the same stadiums that will one day host the worldâs greatest
players. We join one team of men from Nepal, India, Ghana, and Kenya whose
only common ground is their love for football. Each match offers them a
momentary escape from the homesickness and isolation they endure as the
lowest class in the worldâs richest country.
