of Denmark the players of the men’s national football team have to get along without their spouses during the World Cup in Qatar, which will start in just over a month.
The Danish Football Association said it wanted to keep the action in Qatar as minimal as possible due to the country’s human rights problems.
“We don’t want to contribute to Qatar’s income,” commented the union’s communications manager Jakob Hoyer According to Reuters to Ekstrabladet.
“In previous World Cups, the players’ wives and girlfriends have traveled with them, but now we have canceled those trips.”
Qatar has been criticized for many of its human rights issues. According to The Guardian, thousands of migrant workers have died during the construction of World Cup stadiums. The position of women and sexual minorities in the country has also caused criticism.
The Danish national team plays in the games in rather reduced jerseys. The Danish manufacturer Hummel, which produces the game uniforms, presented the shirts and said that the “restrained” shirts partly protested the human rights situation in the World Cup host country, Qatar.
The World Cup tournament starts on November 20, and the final match will be played on December 18. Denmark will play in the initial group D with France, Australia and Tunisia. In their opening game, Denmark will face Tunisia on November 22
