The exciting final match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 is just a couple of days away. Fans all around the globe are waiting eagerly to see this lore end. However, even in the end, FIFA keeps on doing outrageous things. It started just before the inaugural match when FIFA surprised everyone by banning beer from almost all the stadiums.

Not only that, but they forced teams to not wear rainbow bands when they decided to raise their voice to support the LGBTQ+ community. Further, FIFA boss Gianni Infantino made an insane statement for which soccer fans trolled him. Now, on the latest news that came just after the semifinal game between Morocco and France, one fan even called out Lionel Messi for what FIFA did.

FIFA President in a press conference said, “Today, I have strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari… I feel Arab, I feel 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.” This came right after the increasing concerns of activists calling FIFA out on several wrongdoings in Qatar.

Although this was a regular doping test by FIFA, fans are ripping FIFA apart for their decision. France defeated Morocco yesterday and now they will play Argentina in the finals. According to reports, the French players were called immediately after the final whistle for testing, leaving them no time to celebrate the team’s win.

FIFA has a rule where they select two random players from a match and test them for doping. They do this to maintain the morality of the game. But such measures are only to be free of any bias and systematic.
