FIFA's top officials have urged the World Cup teams to focus on the game in Qatar and avoid 'handing out moral lessons.'

Qatar's 2010 selection as World Cup host sparked scrutiny on its treatment of low-paid migrant workers needed to build projects costing tens of billions of dollars and its laws criminalising same-sex relationships.

The Dutch federation also pushed back at FIFA on Friday, restating its commitment to leave “lasting improvements in the situation of migrant workers in Qatar.” “At FIFA, we try to respect all opinions and beliefs, without handing out moral lessons to the rest of the world. One of the great strengths of the world is indeed its very diversity, and if inclusion means anything, it means having respect for that diversity."Infantino and Samoura added: “No one people or culture or nation is ‘better’ than any other. This principle is the very foundation stone of mutual respect and non-discrimination. And this is also one of the core values of football.

FIFA just as corrupt and no morals as Qatar

Why are you still accepting to listen to fake news.. A human life has no values.

Why you put it there

Because they bought the games then spent 220 billion building stadiums killing 1000’s of migrant workers. Sure let’s just pretend none of that happened

Sounds like shutup & dribble

Moral lessons are only for tolerant & diverse Western cultures. The rest of the world gets a free pass. Pollution, child labour, women’s rights, slavery, diversity… crickets

You wouldn't have to ask for this FIFAWorldCup FIFAcom if you hadn't hosted the Cup in such a contentious country.

FIFA & infantino -🤡🤡
