The communication ploy is as ridiculous as it is horrific.
Qatar as revealed Belgian daily Sports On Monday morning, it was possible to “purchase” supporters of the Red Devils, sending all the expenses paid for visiting the principality, in exchange for positive comments. A pro version of influencers is a far cry from Ultra culture, often critical of modern football introduced by FIFA. Sandwich lovers can be relieved: they won’t be alone. Watch videos of fan accounts based in Qatar.

That was enough to raise suspicions about the mobilization of “fake crowds” by the World Cup organizers. The allegations were particularly defended by the Portuguese “fan leader”. Elizabeth Reese. “We have fans of many nationalities, we should be proud of that. We do not pay anyone who loves Portugal or our team. Portugal fans Qatar group events are completely independent of the Organizing Committee and FIFA and do not receive any financial support” , confirms to Chief Glam Your Image. This company was established in 2008 in Qatar with the aim of enhancing the image of the country in the world.
Role “Fan Leader” It is a pro- country-style peculiarity, directly related to the organization of the competition. As stated on the official website of the world, Connected to a community of over 400 fan leaders and influencers from over 60 countries The function of the Fan Leaders Network will be to spread positive messages about fan lives during the World Cup. While waiting for the first matches, we notice on the accounts of groups of fans dedicated to the competition mock celebrations, supervised by Qatari officials, in empty stadiums. A very amazing way to train the support, which gives a very artificial image.
It’s dreamy, isn’t it?
