Salt Bae FIFA WC: FIFA World Cup: The World Cup 2022 final between Argentina and France went down to the wire, with the La Albiceleste winning the game 4-2 on penalties. There was no shortage of drama and the same continued after the game too. Salt Bae, the famous chef, was caught up in controversy as he made his way out onto the pitch. He was also seen pestering Lionel Messi and touching the World Cup trophy, which is not a privilege many can afford and is also against the rules of FIFA. Now the apex body of football in the world is launching an investigation to find out just how the viral chef managed to make it to the pitch. Follow all the LIVE Football Updates with InsideSport.IN

Now, it seems FIFA has launched a probe in figuring out how he got onto the pitch. Apparently, he has no commercial relationship with FIFA, nor did Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, invite him onto the pitch. There is action to be taken against staff who allowed him to enter the pitch. You can clearly spot Messi’s reluctance in talking or taking a quick picture with Salt Bae.

In a series of videos posted by him on Instagram, he is seen interrupting Lisandro Martinez, Angel Di Maria, and Christian Romero. All three of them look very awkward as they try to make sense of the situation. Not everyone is allowed to touch the trophy as it is a violation of FIFA’s guidelines.
Fifa’s website states: “Its current design dates back to 1974. 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.”
He has also been banned from the US Open Cup after his antics in Qatar. Only time will tell what this investigation unearths.
