The football team of Denmark is the loudest critic of the state of Qatar, and after choosing jerseys that symbolize a protest against human rights violations in that country, they decided on another radical move.
Despite the criticism, the Danes want to participate in the World Cup, however, they decided that the players will travel to Qatar without their families and better halves, which is an established practice, and in a statement, they explained the purpose of this gesture.
– We do not want to contribute to Qatar taking advantage of us and our stay there – said the spokesman of the Danish Football Association, Jacob Hoyer, who also confirmed the Association’s decision that only footballers, coaching staff and people from the Association will travel to the host country of the World Cup.
At the previous World Cups, wives and girlfriends of football players traveled with the players, but as I already said, that will not be the case this time, we have canceled all such arrangements for Qatar – Hoyer added.
Denmark is in Group D along with France, Tunisia and Australia, and the competition starts on November 22 with a duel with the Tunisians.
