The decision to host the World Cup 2034 in Saudi Arabia highlights the fierce battle between global sporting aspirations and the grim reality of human rights violations in the kingdom.

Migrant worker deaths and systemic abuses cast a long shadow over the tournament, while critics call for a reckoning that champions not just profit, but dignity and justice. As the world prepares for the spectacle of sport, we must not forget the lives that lie in its shadow and the urgent cries for solidarity from those yearning for true liberation.
