December 19-the World Sports News reported that at the World Cup final award ceremony hosted by Invantino, the Qatari chief did not want to shake hands with Brazilian referee Newza Barker.
FIFA has been criticized for hosting the World Cup in a country that “does not respect the rights of women or migrant workers”. After Argentina beat France in the final yesterday, most spectators and fans did not notice a gesture (or not a gesture) that the Qatari chief had “contempt” for the referee. When FIFA President Invantino presented the award to the referee, the chief did not take the initiative to shake hands, they just nodded “clumsily and simply”. Brazilian Newza Barker is one of the referees of this World Cup.
