Migrant workers win cup

-

ENGLAND stars stood united with Qatar’s migrant workers after losing a penalty shoot-out.

Players including Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane were involved in a “Workers’ Cup” kickabout with a team from Bangladesh, India and Africa.

Ashlin Rafael Jacob, 27, an electricia­n from India, said: “It was great to meet the players.”

Amnesty Internatio­nal UK welcomed the move but said: “The FA’S efforts shouldn’t end here with a photo opportunit­y.”

World Cup organisers have faced criticism for their treatment of foreign workers.
