The sporting director of the Danish national team, Peter Meller, expressed his opinion on FIFA's position on human rights during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

A few months before this World Cup, we tried to influence FIFA and the situation in Qatar behind the scenes. For example, they wanted to train under the slogan "Human Rights for All", but FIFA rejected this proposal.
A few months ago, we announced that we would play with a rainbow-colored captain's armband, but FIFA reacted to this the day before the start of the tournament.
Determining the 2030 World Cup will be a major test for the entire football system, which will have to show that it has really learned something from this year,” Moeller said in a comment to Sportbuzzer.
