“At FIFA, we try to respect all opinions and beliefs without giving moral lessons to the rest of the world. One of the world’s greatest strengths is its diversity, and if inclusion means anything, it means respecting that diversity. culture is better than others. This is one paragraph of a letter sent by FIFA to the 32 federations that will take part in the World Cup in Qatar. The organization fears that the event will be marked by protests not only outside the stadiums or in the stands, but especially the game.
This fear of FIFA, which calls for a “postponement” of politics and FIFA in football, arises from the growing competition around the World Cup in Qatar. Also this Saturday, banners appeared in at least two German league games calling for a boycott of the event. Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool’s German manager, said again this Saturday that the blame for hosting the competition in Qatar should be placed on whoever decided in 2010 to attribute the organization of the event to a country known for human rights violations. Homosexual discrimination, disrespect for women’s rights and exploitation of migrant workers are at stake – an investigation by the British Daily Mail newspaper showed that more than 6,500 people died during the construction of stadiums.
Denmark, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, France, England, Norway, Wales, Sweden and Switzerland are teams that have already announced symbolic protests at the World Cup.
