The match had the SC Secretary General and Qatar’s Minister of Labour in the crowd. According to FIFA, this: “presented further opportunity to showcase the strong, ongoing and joint commitment in relation to workers’ welfare that remains in place beyond the final whistle of the tournament.”
During the game, the president of the football regulatory body served as a referee for a brief period of time. And, never one to shy away from making headlines, Infantino issued a yellow card. Del Piero was the unhappy bearer, but the Juventus legend received it cheerfully. According to reports, “Team Yellow,” led by Roberto Carlos, won the friendly 2-0. However, no workers were recorded on the scoreboard. Eventually, Del Piero and Portugal icon Nuno Gomes scored.
