The Workers Cup plot

In Qatar, millions of guest workers from countries such as India, Kenya, Nepal and Ghana are building the stadiums that will be used for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They live in appalling conditions and have a salary that hardly guarantees their survival. They toil day and night preparing for a party they won't be invited to. A marketing department at FIFA has the idea of organizing a football championship for the workers themselves. The workers soon took up this dubious initiative and enthusiastically pushed themselves into action. No one is left out of the gripping tournament, which is a well-deserved break for the hard-working players.
