Morocco defender insulted FIFA president after match for third place in 2022 World Cup

Yesterday's match for third place in the 2022 World Cup between Croatia and Morocco (2:1) ended in scandal. The players of the African team were outraged by the refereeing in this match, and after the final whistle they literally attacked the team of referees. The main claims of the Moroccans related to the fact that in the second half a penalty was to be awarded to the Croatian national team.

The peak of the “showdown” was the behavior of the defender of the Moroccan national team Ashraf Hakimi, who, according to Sport1, came into direct contact with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

According to the source, immediately before the awards ceremony, the footballer found the head of world football in the room under the stands and insulted him, adding that FIFA did not want the Moroccan team to get World Cup medals.

But this incident did not last long: Hakimi was taken to the locker room. Infantino, as the source adds, calmly reacted to insults from the player.
