It became a world controversial since it began, with an exciting ending that made us forget the permanent criticism of FIFA already Qatar for many events. In a country where human rights are discussed -immigrants, LGTBI groups, women…-, football covered everything.
But the criticism continues to intensify and there are some media affecting this Monday something that has not been noticed and could be put against FIFA itself, the organizer of the World Cup and who drafted the regulations of the tournament. According to the rules, it is forbidden for anyone (except players and personalities) to touch the winner’s trophy. Something utopian, on the other hand…
The truth is that exceptions are made or a ‘blind eye’ is made to some. This is the case of the famous chef Salt Bae, who was seen on the Lusail stadium pitch holding and even kissing the world champion’s trophy and taking pictures with footballers and their families. “As one of the world’s most recognizable sporting symbols and an invaluable icon, the original trophy could only be touched and touched by a select group of people, including former World Cup winners and heads of state.said the regulations.
“I would like to hear FIFA’s explanation,” wrote ‘The Times’ journalist Martyn Ziegler. “Another folly”, wrote ‘New York Times’ reporter Tariq Panja on twitter next to a photo of the famous restaurateur. Sports journalist André Norway was also highly critical of the images. “It’s fucking absurd. Who let Salt Bae on the pitch? AT least Messi realized that this guy wanted to live his moment of glory.”
