is a scene that did not fail to arouse a wave of indignation on social networks. Friday February 12, a few minutes after Bayern Munich’s victory in the Club World Cup final against the Monterrey Tigers (1-0), in Doha, Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani stood out by not typing not his hand against the hand of female match referees, unlike their male counterparts. As pointed outLe Figaro, Fifa President Gianni Infantino seemed to slip instructions to female referees as they were about to step onto the medal ceremony, so that they would not have contact with the Qatari prince.
In the images, which have been strongly relayed on social networks, we see that Edina Alves Batista, the first female main referee to take charge of a match of the Club World Cup, and Neuza Back, referee, walk past the member of the Qatari royal family without glancing at him and continue on their way, medal in hand. Human rights and the condition of women are regularly denounced in Qatar, the host country of the next FIFA World Cup, in 2022. This controversy does not fail to stain for Fifa and Gianni Infantino, who made promoting women’s refereeing a priority during this Club World Cup.
