‘Focus on football’, Fifa tells Qatar World Cup participants

Fifa has written to all 32 teams competing at the World Cup telling them to “now focus on the football” following a controversial build-up.

The letter, signed by Fifa president Giovanni Infantino and secretary-general Fatma Samoura and seen by the BBC, reads: “We have the unique occasion and opportunity to welcome and embrace everyone, regardless of origin, background, religion, gender, sexual orientation or nationality.” It believes a crackdown on protests in the country “may violate the principles and norms” of Fifa. The World Cup has been moved to the winter season for the first time in its 92-year history.
