World Cup, the general secretary of the Dutch
Football Association (KNVB) has said.
Gijs de Jong has pledged that the Netherlands team will make the case for a “better future” in Qatar during the tournament next November and December, including “symbolic” acts such as visiting migrant worker camps.
