The cabinet will not send a minister to Qatar on Saturday for the eighth final between the United States and the Netherlands. The Netherlands will have to get further into the tournament if the cabinet is to ponder the thorny issue again.
That match is less emotionally charged than the group match between host country Qatar and the Netherlands, which was visited by Minister of Sport Conny Helder.

In the run-up to the match, Helder was surrounded for weeks by a social and political debate about the question of which statement the Netherlands should make in the stands. That eventually became a hard-to-see pin of the OneLove campaign. Unlike the Belgian and German ministers who visited a match of their country, Helder did not wear a clearly visible bracelet from the OneLove campaign.
Quarterfinal or semifinal
Helder opted for dialogue with the Qatari government and the trade unions to discuss human rights. If the Netherlands wins the game on Saturday, it must be possible to scale up for the quarterfinals. It is therefore obvious that Prime Minister Mark Rutte will come into the picture. For the semi-finals and or the final, that could be the king.
