Shortly after the break in the Portugal-Uruguay match, a man appeared on the lawn to send several messages.
A man wearing a rainbow flag and wearing a T-shirt in support of Iranian women ran onto the lawn of Lusail Stadium in Doha on Monday during the 2022 World Cup match between Portugal and Uruguay , found journalists from theAFP.
After running across the pitch for around 30 seconds, the young man was intercepted by security guards and calmly escorted by security out of the Lusail stadium, where the final will be played on December 18.
Advocate for many causes
The scene was shown only fleetingly on television images. No information on this man was immediately available.
The organizers of the Mondial-2022 are the target of many criticisms, in particular on the rights of LGBT + people. Homosexuality is subject to criminal prosecution in Qatar.
The man had a T-shirt stamped with the Superman logo with, on the front, a inscription in support of Ukraine (“Save Ukraine», «Save Ukraine”) and on the back a message asking for respect for Iranian women (“Respect for Iranian Woman“).
If FIFA assured that flags or clothes in the colors of the rainbow would be accepted in the stadiums, in fact, these were confiscated on several occasions by the security forces.
