A senior Qatari leader overseeing security for the World Cup has told The Associated Press that rainbow flags could be taken from supporters.
“You want to demonstrate your view about the situation, demonstrate it in a society where it will be accepted,” he said. “We realize that this man got the ticket, comes here to watch the game, not to demonstrate, a political or something which is in his mind.
Al Ansari said he is not telling LBGTQ fans to stay away from Qatar or warning them of facing prosecution. FIFA chief social responsibility and education officer Joyce Cook told the AP in 2020 that “rainbow flags, T-shirts will all be welcome in the stadium — that’s a given. They understand very well that is our stance.” World Cup chief executive Nasser Al-Khater also said"we will respect" FIFA guidelines on allowing rainbow flags.
