The organisation has renewed its call for FIFA to establish a remediation programme for the workers who have faced abuses such as illegal recruitment fees, unpaid wages, injury and death.

The request was initially made in May and has the support of more than a dozen football associations, including those of England, Germany, France, The Netherlands and the United States.

World Cup sponsors Coca Cola, Adidas, Budweiser and McDonalds are also on board while a global poll commissioned by Amnesty across 15 countries showed that 84 per cent of the tournament's expected viewership favour the proposal.

However, Infantino is yet to provide a response.

"Unless he breaks his silence on the issue of compensation, Gianni Infantino looks set to refuse a golden opportunity to leave a World Cup legacy that respects and honours the workers who made it possible," said Amnesty International's head of economic and social justice Steve Cockburn.

"He has been presented with reams of evidence about the human consequences of the last 12 years and a concrete proposal to help victims and their families rebuild their lives, so the message from Zurich and Doha cannot simply be to focus on football.

"FIFA cannot use the spectacle of the World Cup to dodge its responsibilities.

"It has a clear duty towards the hundreds of thousands of workers who suffered while building the stadiums and infrastructure needed for the tournament.

"A public commitment to a compensation fund - while not undoing the past - would represent a major step forward.

"Time is short but it's still not too late for FIFA to do the right thing."

Human rights concerns have featured prominently in the build-up to Qatar 2022, including the host nation's labour laws, treatment of migrant workers and policies on homosexuality and women's rights.
