Qatar stadium security staff have been ordered not to confiscate LGBT rainbow items, Fifa says 🔴 Exclusive from samcunningham
Despite repeated assurances that everyone would be welcome in the country, from Qatari World Cup and government officials to Fifa representatives, what has taken place during the tournament has in no way reflected this.
Many LGBT+ fans in England decided not to travel to Qatar for the tournament, having been unconvinced by assurances from the Football Association and other authorities that they would be safe in a country where same-sex relationships are a criminal offence.
Back in 2020, World Cup chief executive Nasser Al-Khater insisted that the rainbow symbol for gay pride would be welcome. “When it comes to the rainbow flags in the stadiums, Fifa have their own guidelines, they have their rules and regulations,” he said. “Whatever they may be, we will respect them.”
