Though Qatar has continually denied the claims against them, human rights groups have continued to criticise the country - saying reforms brought in in recent years don't go far enough.

As well as their kits, Denmark have also confirmed that family members of the players will not travel to Qatar as part of a protest against human rights."We believe the message ‘human rights for all’ is universal and not a political call, but something everyone can support," Jensen added.
"We don't want to contribute to creating profit for Qatar," Jokob Hoyer, the team's communications manager, told newspaper Ekstra Bladet lastn month.
"Therefore, we have throttled down as much as possible on our travel activities.
"In previous finals, the players' wives and girlfriends have travelled with the board, but as I said, we have cancelled those trips."
