“BBC Sport Exposes £1-an-Hour Factories Making Official Football Shirts in Cambodia” — what this page in the network covers. A BBC Sport investigation has traced the production of official football shirts to factories in Cambodia where workers earn less than £1 per hour. The report reveals that major clubs and brands, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Adidas, are linked to these low-wage facilities. Many workers, predominantly women, face long hours, mandatory overtime, and insufficient pay to meet basic living costs, despite the shirts retailing for upwards of £70.
The investigation highlights the stark contrast between the profits generated by the football industry and the poverty wages paid to those manufacturing its merchandise. This matters because it raises serious ethical questions about supply chain accountability and the true cost of fan loyalty. As consumers become more conscious of labor rights, pressure is mounting on clubs and sportswear giants to ensure fair wages and safe working conditions.
