126 FIFA is investigating the circumstances which led to ‘Salt Bae’ gatecrashing Argentina’s World Cup celebrations in Qatar on Sunday. The celebrity restaurant owner, whose real name is Nusret Gokce, was seen on the pitch after the final trying to take selfies with Argentina players, including Lionel Messi, and holding the World Cup. FIFA has told his access to the pitch was unauthorised and its rules state that only the World Cup winners and heads of state are allowed to touch the trophy during the closing ceremony. A spokesperson for FIFA said: “Following a review, FIFA has been establishing how individuals gained undue access to the pitch after the closing ceremony at Lusail stadium on 18 December. The appropriate internal action will be taken.” You Might Be Interested In Eli Lilly’s New Campaign Tackles Stigma Surrounding Obesity Treatment Young Entrepreneurs Reshaping Djibouti’s Business Horizon BlackRock Successfully Prices $3 Billion Debt Offering for GIP Transaction Altria Initiates $2.4 Billion Accelerated Share Repurchase Transactions Japan is nostalgic for a past that was in part worse than its present UK shopper numbers dented by rail strikes and snow
