We all wondered who was the idiot in the suit, glasses and purple tie who bothered the players and tried to appear in all the photos during the celebrations in the stadium after the World Cup.
Well, his name is Nusret Gökçe, he is a Turkish chef and he is known as Salt Bae. FIFA declared him persona non grata for having touched the World Cup during the celebrations of the Argentine National Team in the World Cup in Qatar.
As indicated by the regulations, the World Cup can only be touched by those who have won it, be it a footballer, coach, assistant or manager.
In a statement, the highest body in world football says that what Salt Bae did at the Lusail Stadium “was deplorable.” Thus, the sanction will prohibit him from attending the competition and could only be the beginning of a series of sentences, in addition to the social one.
In addition, the organization of the US Open indicated on its website that Salt Bae was also excluded from attending the final of the tournament next year.
