"FIFA response to the BHRRC's request dated 15 May 2026,"

Thank you for contacting FIFA and for raising these important issues in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2034 (FWC 2034). FIFA acknowledges the concerns raised and recognises the importance of continued transparency and engagement on human rights matters associated with its upcoming tournaments.

We recognise that behind every loss of life is a loved one and a family whose lives have been irrevocably changed. In this context, FIFA has been informed that full compensation has been paid to Mohammad Ashraf's family by the responsible entity.
