A protester holding a rainbow flag and wearing a shirt supporting Ukraine and Iranian women ran onto the field at the Qatar World Cup during a match between Portugal and Uruguay.

A protestor ran onto the field Monday carrying a rainbow flag and wearing a blue Superman T-shirt that said “SAVE UKRAINE” on the front and “RESPECT FOR IRANIAN WOMAN” on the back during a World Cup match between Portugal and Uruguay.
Security officials chased the protestor down and the flag was dropped on the field before the person was escorted away. The referee then picked up the flag and left it on the sideline, where it stayed for a few moments before a worker came and collected it.
The protestor was ushered away through a tunnel. It wasn’t immediately clear if the person faced any charges or had been detained by police. FIFA had no immediate comment on the incident.

#WorldCup #Qatar #Protest
Sweet Success 🙏😇❤️ for Humanity 💗🙏😇
Not for humanity only for homosexuality
show your humanity by African people
Success is not running on a field with a political flag, it’s a child having a tantrum at most.
My sources say he was later killed by authorities, rip
Your sources: my cat
So you work for Quatarian Authorities?
RIH
Rainbow flag?
Dirty
Why is it so hard to leave politics out of sport!!
@Emi They aren’t human rights lol
@Richard Aguirre yes they are
@SRR Learn to respect the culture of others. Qatar is primarily Islamic, so don’t bring western liberal propaganda to them.
@SRR they are in some land
@Richard Aguirre The only reason it’s in Qatar is because they payed for it with oil money. The stadium that they built was built off the back of slaves. If they were truly Islamic they would display peace, tolerance, unity, respect and courage which they strive against because they are ignorant hatful people who care about money.
fatherless figure💀
Oh, don’t talk about yourself like that
W COMMENT
@GermanChaos1960 hilarious.
Dickless he/him ☕️
Some lil bro in my cmt section need to respect foreign culture😹
sport is sport, don’t confuse it with another, there are other places to protest
he isn’t protesting there because of the sport, it’s because of the amount of people who will see his message, plus Qatar treats the LGBTQIA+ horribly.
Just call them Islamophobic
LOL ask bratanian,sovite,nato how was Afghanistan one of the Muslim’s country
We Don’t want be dirty ist Hard to accept?
There are two kinds of people:
1: intellegent respectable and sophisticated ones
2: football fans
I hope he gets what he deserves. These people really have no respect for other’s beliefs in their own countries.
This is wrong it..
The thing is European world can’t bear to watch a Muslim country showcase there religion in positive way, they need to get use to it our culture is our we don’t car what they say of you in a Muslim country you have to obey our law
Yup . These Europeans don’t respect anything but they want people to follow their laws 🇲🇽💯☝🏽
Let him got what he deserve
馬鹿な動物
