Investigation reveals low wages at Cambodia football shirt factories

A BBC Sport investigation has uncovered that workers in Cambodia producing official football shirts for major clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool earn less than £1 an hour. The report highlights poor working conditions, including high temperatures and verbal abuse, in two factories supplying these shirts. Fans have expressed frustration over rising kit prices, leading some to opt for counterfeit products instead. The investigation indicates that the manufacturing process involves high output requirements, with workers producing up to 700 items daily. Adidas, a primary supplier for many Premier League teams, claims to maintain audits to ensure worker safety and fair pay in its supply chain.
