Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar Gianni Infantino shoots back versus critics

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has actually turned down criticism of the World Cup in Qatar and implicated the media of hypocrisy.

This one-sided moral preaching is pure hypocrisy, said the 52-year-old at an interview on Saturday in Doha.

One day prior to the opening game between Qatar and Ecuador on Sunday (5:00 p.m. CET/ZDF and Magenta TV), the questionable head of the World Association took out an overall against the press in a monologue. It is really hard for me to understand this criticism, said Infantile that she was deeply unreasonable.

Convicts from the western world are improper against the background of their own history. For what we Europeans have actually done in the previous 3000 years, we should excuse the next 3000 years prior to we begin granting individuals moral lessons, stated Infantile.

Everyone and everybody is welcome: If someone says something else, this is not the nation's attitude-and it is not the mindset of FIFA, he added.

Today I feel Qatari, today I feel Arabic, today I feel African, today I feel gay, today I feel prevents, today I seem like a visitor worker, stated the Swiss native.

In the run-up to the World Cup in the desert state, amongst other things, the human rights situation, conditions for migrant employees and missing rights for women and the LGBTQ neighborhood were denounced. Infantile revealed his assistance for these groups.
