Gotta love FIFA right? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/3205842/russia-2018-world-cup-stadium-being-built-using-north-korean-slaves-on-45p-an-hour/
At least 110 North Koreans are being forced to work on the Zenit Arena for £8/$10/€8,28 for a 17-hour day. Up to 90% reportedly goes to the North Korean government, and multiple North Korean workers have died.

Just like Qatar. I wonder, did the same happen in South Africa?

Also far over $1 billion for a stadium that doesn't even have a capacity of 70,000?  With work slaves?

We're talking about Russia here, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the vast majority of that money went straight into the pockets of government officials and officials of the Russian Football Union.
