The Workers Cup provides a close, personal insight into Qatar's labor camps, where the World Cup is built on the backs of more than one million migrant workers.
The film follows a group of workers who live out a real version of fantasy football. During the day they sweat to build the World Cup; In the evening, they compete in a "welfare" football tournament played in the same stadiums that will one day receive the world's best players.
We follow a team of men from Nepal, India, Ghana and Kenya. The only thing they have in common is the love of football. Each match gives them a transient free time from the homesickness and isolation they struggle with, as the lowest class in the world's richest countries. Even as pieces in the World Cup's marketing game, they can get lost in the purity of football.

You have unused loans this month, but your library has a limit of the total amount of loans that can be used by all loaners each month. That limit has been reached. We have notified your library, but if it chooses not to increase the limit, you cannot loan any more films this month, even if you have not used up your individual loans unfortunately.
