Incidentally, the promotions for Qatar from the football legend comes days after a Danish journalist Rasmus Tantholdt from the TV2 channel was interrupted while by Qatari officials who threatened to break their camera equipment. The Qatar World Cup organisers, later, apologised for the misconduct.
“Upon inspection of the crew’s valid tournament accreditation and filming permit an apology was made to the broadcaster by on‑site security before the crew resumed their activity,” organisers said.
Moreover, English football icon David Beckham, has been massively criticised for donning the hat of an ambassador in Qatar ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
