Salt Bae holds soccer World Cup trophy on field: FIFA to take action against breach in protocol
FIFA administration said that it would take suitable action on an internal level to address the act of holding the trophy on the field by the celebrity chef Salt Bae, which was a breach of World Cup protocol, reports PTI.
The chef, Salt Bae, is seen with FIFA president Gianni Infantino very often. He mingled with the players from Argentina and posed for pictures after the team won the World Cup in Doha, Qatar, on Sunday.
Since FIFA considers the trophy a 'priceless icon', it lays restrictions on touching and holding it, saying only a select group of people, including former winners of the World Cup and heads of the state, may do so.
“Following a review, FIFA has been establishing how individuals gained undue access to the pitch after the closing ceremony at Lusail stadium on Dec. 18,” the world soccer body said.
Salt Bae owns a restaurant in Doha and was a regular guest of the FIFA, with VIP access during the World Cup. He also posted photos and video clips during the event on social media.
After Argentina won in a penalty shootout, following a 3-3 draw, he was filmed holding Lionel Messi's arm on the field in an attempt to catch the attention of the Argentina captain.
Messi, however, looked irked by this in the video clip, although he then posed for a photo with Salt Bae, which the latter posted on Instagram.
