"Concluding his two-day visit to Qatar, FIFA president Gianni Infantino today announced the creation of an oversight body with independent members to monitor the systems in place to ensure decent working conditions at World Cup stadiums," said the international federation on 22/04/2016.

"In connection with the 2022 event, this body will validate the quality and effectiveness of the due diligence processes in place, will analyse the regular findings of the independent auditing system, the remediation measures taken by the Supreme Committee to address any issues and report about findings, recommendations and progress, with the aim of increasing transparency around this important topic," stated the international football body.

"The FIFA president was very pleased by the positive reaction and the support offered by the Qatari authorities for this initiative," said FIFA. Gianni Infantino visited Russia and Qatar, host countries of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups from 19 to 22/04/2016.
