An open letter to Edinburgh University Students Association from members of its community:  
 
In full awareness of the realities of human rights violations, same-sex relationship ban and the mistreatment of migrant workers surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, we, the undersigned, call on the student’s association to:  

1. Refuse to show any of 2022 World Cup coverage and/or games at any EUSA venues.  
2. Cease any/ all marketing promoting the 2022 World Cup. 
3. Refuse to capitalize and make profit from an event contributing to actions inherently against EUSA’s core values and vision.  
 
The World cup in Qatar is not just an event surrounded in controversy but a true issue of social justice, and the erasure of inclusivity and equality in the worldwide sporting community. Our sense of urgency in signing this letter cannot be overstated. As members of the student community, we believe that it is our moral responsibility to show resistance and refuse to compromise on our student’s association’s values. Two of EUSA’s five adopted liberation campaigns focus on protecting members of the LGBTQI+ community and claim to challenge stigma and tackle the oppression these groups face.  
Honouring these commitments is central to maintaining the Student’s Association’s integrity and reputation as a credible institution and leader in its field.  

We request that EUSA shows courage, applies prudent risk management and acts as a progressive leader in advocating for the LGBT+ community. We ask that the association divests its direct and indirect promotion of this event and refuse to continue the cycle of exploitation by making profit from the showing of any World Cup coverage.  

By doing so, Edinburgh University Students Association will send a strong leadership message to the wider community that the exploitation of migrant workers and the mistreatment of the LGBTQI+ community is not to be tolerated and overlooked for the sake of a sporting tournament, no matter its worldwide popularity.
