Denmark will wear kits at the World Cup that were designed by manufacturer Hummel as a protest against Qatar’s human rights record before the tournament, the sportswear company said this week.
“We’ve toned down all the details for Denmark’s new World Cup jerseys, including our logo and iconic chevrons,” Hummel Sport said on Instagram. “We have engaged in robust and transparent dialogue with the DBU [Denmark’s football association]. This dialogue resulted in a better understanding of the progress made, the challenges faced, and the legacy we will deliver beyond 2022,” an SC spokesperson told Reuters.
The government has said its labour system is a work in progress, but denied a 2021 Amnesty report that thousands of migrant workers were still being exploited.
