Is this guy the actual worst?
FIFA have released a statement having come under criticism over the antics of Turkish chef and celebrity Salt Bae after the World Cup final.
Owner of Nusr-Et, a chain of apparently very average but expensive steak houses, Gokce was welcomed on to the Lusail Stadium pitch to join the Argentina players while they were celebrating their World Cup win. FIFA state on their website: ‘As one of the most recognised sports symbols in the world and a priceless icon, the original FIFA World Cup Trophy can only be touched and held by a very select group of people, which includes former winners of the FIFA World Cup and heads of state.’
The statement read: ‘Following a review, FIFA has been establishing how individuals gained undue access to the pitch after the closing ceremony at Lusail stadium on 18 December. The appropriate internal action will be taken.’
