Gianni Infantino aims dig at World Cup fans angry at U-turn over stadium alcohol ban!!!!
FIFA president has Gianno Infantino backed Qatar’s decision to perform a late U-turn and ban the sale of alcohol inside stadiums hosting matches at the World Cup.
Infantino added: ‘Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel (like) a migrant worker.
‘Of course I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, I am not disabled. But I feel like it, because I know what it means to be discriminated, to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country. As a child I was bullied – because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian so imagine.
‘What do you do then? You try to engage, make friends. Don’t start accusing, fighting, insulting, you start engaging. And this is what we should be doing.’
