PHYSICAL SPACES & ACCESSIBILITY (continued)
To promote safety and inclusion at tournament games, FIFA and the local entities require in stadiums
and Fanfest areas:
• alcohol-free zones
• family-friendly areas
• pride zones
FIFA and the local entities work with host governments, stadiums and local suppliers to ensure:
• Equal facilities for women and men across stadiums and community grounds, including women’s
changing rooms, as well as accessible and inclusive amenities for all participants.
• Facilities that cater for the diverse needs of women and provide for breast-feeding facilities, prayer
rooms and quiet spaces.
CHILD SAFEGUARDING
To safeguard children, FIFA and the local entities, in consultation with experts:
• Adopt and implement FIFA’s safeguarding policy.
• Undertake an audit of local laws to understand and comply with child safeguarding and
mandatory reporting requirements including regarding criminal history and Working with Children
Checks/Police Vetting.
• Ensure that child volunteers are provided with information about their rights.
• Develop a permissions policy and authorisation process for the tournament to be implemented
for child volunteers and players under 18.
LABOUR EXPLOITATION
To prevent exploitation of workers, particularly in identified high risk sectors such as cleaning,
hospitality and security FIFA and the local entities:
• Audit Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand employment laws, including work, health and safety
laws, to understand and ensure employment processes of FIFA, the local entities and contracted
entities comply.
• Undertake due diligence to identify and address risks of exploitation or actual exploitation of
workers in their supply chains and those of their contracting partners. This may include partnering
with organisations that have sector expertise such as the ‘Cleaning Accountability Framework’ in
Australia.
• Communicate to stadiums and suppliers FIFA’s policy on prohibiting labour exploitation that
should reference underpayment of wages and wage theft.
• Establish minimum standards on fair working conditions as a precondition for successful tenders
to supply services.
• Ensure that every worker, employed or contracted by FIFA or the local entities in connection
with the FWWC2023 and their direct suppliers, is provided with information on their rights at
work (similar to the Australian Fair Work Statement) in the host countries (available in multiple
languages) and where to seek help should it be needed.
• Consider the establishment of pop-up worker rights information hubs near key venues and spot
checks on working conditions before, during and after FWWC2023 events.
