The kit will not only be a powerful message about the poor human rights record the host country have but also a tribute to the Danish team that won Euro 1992.

The launch follows a series of protests by human rights campaign groups against the treatment of migrant workers in Qatar.

After confirming their World Cup qualification, the country's football association (DBU) said they were establishing a series of measures to spotlight human rights issues in Qatar last year.

Earlier this month, a plea to FIFA to compensate workers was heavily backed. Amnesty International and other human rights groups have called on FIFA to set aside $440millionto support the program. That amount is equivalent to the World Cup prize money.
