FIFA confirms fans can carry LGBTQ rainbow symbols into Qatar stadium
2022-11-25 13:41As FIFA (FIFA) banned the captain of the national team participating in the World Cup in Qatar from wearing the anti-discrimination armband with the "One Love" rainbow logo, it not only caused controversy, but also caused fans to worry about whether the rainbow logo would be illegal in Qatar. countries are completely prohibited.
In the opening game of the World Cup between the United States and Wales on Tuesday, it was also reported that Welsh fans were prevented from carrying rainbow logo hats and flags supporting LGBTQ, and they would be confiscated and blocked if they entered the stadium. The statement expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment and urged FIFA to respond to the report.
The rainbow logo is a symbol of LGBTQ and advocates the rights of sexual minorities. In Qatar, a conservative country where Islam is the state religion, this group is not accepted and recognized, and will even be punished by law. When preparing for the World Cup in April, senior security officials in Qatar suggested that fans carrying rainbow signs should not be allowed to enter the stadium to protect them from threats in Qatar.
The Qatar World Cup ambassador and former Qatar national player also said that "homosexuality is an ideological harm", which caused an uproar in the outside world and exacerbated the concerns and personal safety of supporters of LGBTQ groups.
Following the ongoing controversy over the rainbow logo in Qatar, FIFA officials finally spoke today, saying that they have been negotiating with the Qatari authorities and contacting the Welsh Football Association during this period. Under the mediation of various parties, the National Football Federation confirmed that it has contacted and instructed all World Cup venues to abide by the agreed rules, allowing fans to carry the LGBTQ rainbow logo to participate in today's Wales-Iran game and enter eight Qatar World Cup stadiums.
However, FIFA's governing body does not have the authority to manage stadium security maintained by units of the local organizing committee in Qatar, which authorities have previously claimed will guarantee the safety of all fans, including LGBT fans, in stadiums.
