World football’s governing body said the meeting would give Amnesty International the opportunity to present a petition calling on FIFA to address concerns.

Qatar's treatment of migrant workers has been under scrutiny as the country prepares to host the World Cup next year.

Last year Amnesty International issued a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, urging the worldwide governing body to take "urgent and concrete action" and "use the full extent of its influence" to ensure Qatari authorities fulfil a programme of labour reforms prior to the World Cup.

The human rights organisation claimed its research had shown that thousands of migrant workers are still exploited and abused in Qatar.

The Qatari Government has claimed it is making progress on labour reforms, including a shift away from the "kafala system", which forced foreign workers to seek their employers' consent to change jobs or leave the country.

FIFA has suggested that while more can be done, hosting the World Cup had helped to instigate labour reforms in Qatar.

Amnesty International said in November that progress had stalled over the previous 12 months, with exploitative elements of the Kafala System re-emerging.

FIFA said the meeting would feature experts from the governing body and its local partner in Qatar to examine progress and the challenges that still remain.

"We very much welcome the ongoing engagement with Amnesty International and are always open to transparently and constructively discussing and addressing any concerns that our stakeholders may have," FIFA’s chief social responsibility & education officer Joyce Cook said prior to the meeting.

"We remain fully committed to ensuring the protection of workers engaged in the delivery of the World Cup, and we are confident that the tournament will also serve as a catalyst for broader positive and lasting change across the host country.

"As widely recognised by international expert organisations, the World Cup has already contributed significantly to improved labour conditions in the region and it is clear that Qatar is on the right track having introduced sweeping labour reforms and making substantial progress, in what has been a comparatively very short period of time."

FIFA said the International Labour Organisation (ILO), International Trade Union Confederation and the Builders and Woodworkers International (BWI) are among organisers to note progress in labour conditions.

The FIFA and Amnesty International meeting is also set to focus on the situation of workers in the service sector, particularly the hospitality sector.

FIFA said this is due to the scale of construction work gradually decreasing, leading to efforts increasingly shifting towards the hospitality sector due to its key role during the tournament.

An audit and inspection programme for the hospitality sector as well as due diligence measures for service companies deployed on FIFA competition sites have reportedly been developed.

Football Associations and players were encouraged by human rights organisations in December to maintain pressure on FIFA and Qatar 2022 in the build-up to the tournament.

The groups have said this will help encourage tournament organisers to ensure reforms are fully enforced and a legacy for workers' rights can be achieved.

Denmark has already confirmed it will wear messages in support of human rights on their training kit during the World Cup, as well as reducing trips to Qatar in the tournament build-up.

Players from The Netherlands and Germany, who have also qualified for the tournament, wore shirts during qualification matches last year to highlight issues surrounding migrant rights.

Following concerns over the heat and humidity in Qatar, the World Cup later this year has been moved from its usual slot in June and July.

The tournament is scheduled to be held from November 21 to December 18.
