Labor sponsorship is a system of rules, not a single Gulf-wide statute. The ILO describes constraints on mobility and risk of forced labor, alongside country-specific reforms. Qatar removed key job-change restrictions and adopted a minimum wage; Saudi reforms exclude some categories including domestic workers. Rights reporting on the UAE describes wage theft and heat risks. Tie a sporting event to a worker cohort, contractor, and period before asserting responsibility.
