Football fans in Qatar’s World Cup hit back at Germany by holding up pictures of Mesut Ozil, the former Germany player of Turkish descent who had faced discrimination in 2018 while we was playing for the country’s national football team.

On November 27, a group of fans held copies of a hand-drawn sketch of Ozil, while others showed pictures of him playing with Germany during the team’s match with Spain.

The display was apparently in response to Germany’s questionable treatment of Ozil, the former player who quit the national team after becoming a target of racist abuse and a scapegoat for Germany’s early World Cup exit in 2018.

Fans also protested German players’ behaviour when they covered their mouths to protest against FIFA following the governing body’s clampdown on political symbol messages.
