154 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 Saudi Arabia turns green for 93rd National Day … and rehearses for Expo 2030 Watsco Delivers Robust 2023 Performance, Increases Annual Dividend by 10% As biodiversity degrades, nature’s solutions are lost for ever Cheers, tears and dwindling hopes Lidl UK Increases Staff Pay for the Third Time in a Year EY Appoints First Female CEO
