Moroccan players posed with the Palestinian flag on the field after reaching the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup at the expense of Spain on Tuesday in Doha, AFP reporters said. At the end of the match, the players gathered for a group photo with the Palestinian flag, which was also waved by Valladolid defender Jawad el-Yamik.
The Palestinian colors are very present in the stands of this World Cup in Qatar, the first contested in the Arab world.
During the France-Tunisia match, a fan broke onto the lawn during the match with this flag. FIFA is hostile to gestures of a political nature during matches organized by it.
Eight European federations at the start of the tournament refused to allow their captain to wear the “One Love” rainbow armband, meant to protect the rights of LGBT+ people. According to some of them, FIFA threatened sports sanctions.
