"The place for the game and the World Cup" : Zinedine Zidane wants to put aside the Qatar controversy

As the 2022 World Cup kicks off on 20 November, Zinédine Zidane addressed the controversy and called for a boycott of the competition’s host country, Qatar.

Who will replace the French team? From 20 November, the 2022 FIFA World Cup will begin in Qatar. With 32 teams competing, the final will be held on December 18. Les Bleus, coached by Didier Deschamps, will face their group stage counterparts in Group D and in Denmark, Australia and Tunisia.

In recent weeks, many names from the world of politics and art have called for a boycott of the tournament. Qatar, which will organize the matches in air-conditioned stadiums, stands out with the working conditions imposed on the personnel who set up the necessary infrastructure for the organization. “An ecological aberration in all these air-conditioned stadiums… What madness, what stupidity! But most of all, a human horror… How many thousand deaths, to build these stadiums, for what in the end, to entertain the gallery for two monthsHe complained, particularly from Eric Cantona. Zinédine Zidane, who arrived in Paris on Monday (October 24th) to discover his sculpture at the Grévin Museum, was questioned about these controversies surrounding the 2022 World Cup.

For the 98 world champions and former Real Madrid coach, we must now focus on the sporting aspect. “I think we should put the discussion aside and leave room for the match and the World Cup. For all fans who just want to watch football“, explained in statements quoted by BFM-TV.
