You're perpetuating the mistake in the title.

As I understand the GP, the point is that during the construction of the any sporting facilities, some workers will have died but it won't have been directly related to the work they did.

In Qatar, that number is >6500. In the UK, we don't know the number.

Same statistics are available in the UK, although immigrant-specific numbers aren’t updated on a weekly basis.
