After each match at the World Cup, team captains should vote on whether or not to speak out on the human rights record of the host country.
Australia issued a statement condemning the treatment of migrant workers and people with same-sex relationships.
The Australian football stars are leading the way.
The gold standard has been set.
"I hope that every other national team will follow their lead and that all team captains will devote 30 seconds of every post match news conference to affirm their commitment to the rights of LGBTs, women and migrant workers."
"That would be a great thing to do, and I know it would be appreciated by the people of the country, who are often secretly hoping for a more democratic and human rights respecting government," she said.
Since it was announced in 2010 that the World Cup would be held in the country where homosexuality is against the law, there has been a lot of criticism.
The World Cup should go to nations that respect rights and don't discriminate, according to the human rights activist.
Paul Amann said he wasn't aware of a gay football fan who wanted to go to the World Cup.
"I'm told by hundreds of other LGBT+ fans of football, nobody is interested in going and all the different groups are reporting the same issues - that it's not a place the LBGT+ people are welcome," he said.
Amann and his husband were invited by the organizers of the World Cup to come to the country in 2019.
It was difficult to contemplate the death penalty for being gay in the first place.
"We went with an ambition to engage, to try and encourage that country and the leadership, with it being the World Cup, to really move things forward to make sure it could be a World Cup for everyone."
"They made various promises along the lines of 'yes, everybody is welcome' and what they've done is prove that everybody will not be welcome because they've continued to oppress LGBT+ people in their own country."
James Cleverly, the UK's Foreign Secretary, told LBC that LGBT football fans should show a little bit of flex and compromise in order to be respectful of the host nation.
His comments were criticised by the Labour Party as "shockingly tone-deaf" and Conservative party chair Nadhim Zahawi contradicted Cleverly, saying LGBTQ+ football fans travelling to next month's World Cup in Qatar should not have to compromise on their sexuality.
"We are doing everything we can to make sure this is a safe and secure tournament for all fans," said the ambassador to the UK.
We don't want anyone to change who they are, we just want them to respect their own values and cultures.
Nobody will be asked at any check points to prove their gender or sexuality.
The people of England and Wales are welcome in the country with open hearts and open arms. They should come and support their team, have fun, and get to know the host country.
The one-man protest was held in the host nation, holding a placard that read "Qatar arrests, jails, and subjects LGBTs to conversion", with the #Qatar AntiGay slogan on it.
No one had been discriminated against based on their gender identity, according to Al-Attiyah.
Even in our culture, holding hands is allowed. He said that common holding hands is fine.
There are certain interpretations as to what a display of affection would look like in a country that isn't the same as the one you're in. I think it's important to be aware of the culture of the society in which you live.
A video released by Australia, which features 16 players, called for "effective remedy" for migrant workers and the decriminalisation of same-sex relationships.
Footballers using their platforms to raise awareness for important matters is something that the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy supports.
We are committed to making sure that the World Cup has had a positive impact on the lives of everyone involved.
There have been complaints about the treatment of foreign labourers in the country.
According to the Guardian, 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died since it won the right to host the World Cup in 2020.
The total was not true because not all of the deaths were related to the World Cup.
The health, safety, security, and dignity of every worker is our priority.
Every country has its challenges and no country is perfect.
The World Cup will be held in the Middle East.
