Doha. Preparations are going on in full swing for the FIFA World Cup, the great football tournament that begins in Qatar on November 20. All the stadiums are fully decorated and arrangements are being made in the hotel for the players to stay. Meanwhile, FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Secretary General Fatma Samoura have asked teams to focus on football during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Also, do not get involved in all kinds of ideological and political battles. A letter has been written from FIFA to the teams of the World Cup 2022, according to which football should not be tried to be dragged into ideological or political battles. We have been urged to focus on the competition rather than getting into all kinds of ethics debates.
Let us tell you that FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the organization’s general secretary Fatma Samoura have written this letter in response to the increasing demand for security for athletes during the tournament. The FIFA World Cup 2022 has been affected due to the plight of low-wage migrant workers building infrastructure in the Gulf country and laws criminalizing same-sex issues. Infantino and Samoura wrote letters that please focus on football now. Sky Sports has made this letter public. FIFA has said through the letter that we know that there are many types of political challenges in the world and football is also no exception to it. The World Football Organization has appealed to the teams not to try to drag football into these ideological and political battles. How strict are the laws in Qatar that all the players are scared of the laws there.
Significantly, less than three weeks are left for the start of the Football Championship competition, which starts in Qatar from 20 November. Therefore, the letter has been addressed to all the countries participating in the World Cup. In 2010, the FIFA Executive Committee decided to host the World Cup in Qatar. Infantino wrote in the letter, “At FIFA, we want the rest of the world to respect all views and beliefs, regardless of morality.”
There are many variations in the world but the inclusion of all is better. No individual, nation or culture is better than any other and everyone has their own beliefs. Football is also the foundation of mutual respect and non-discrimination. We should focus only on football. On the other hand, if we talk about football players, then all the teams are sweating fiercely on the field during the practice session.
