Jakarta, CNNI Indonesia —
The use of clothes other than the costumes worn during the competition in the trophy delivery procession does not in fact comply with the rules Fifa.
Lionel Messi lifted the cup and then celebrated Argentina’s success in World Cup 2022 with the race shirt covered tail i.e. the traditional robes of the Arab region.
Messi’s Albiceleste costume is still visible, because tail transparent. However, if you refer to Article 27 of the FIFA Equipment Regulations which refers to celebratory clothing, that is a violation.
“In FIFA Finals competition, the celebratory dress may only be worn on the field of play after an official FIFA activity has taken place (during this activity the teams must wear the shirts they wore during the match),” it reads in Article 27 paragraph 2.
The activities to which reference is made are then also made explicit in the points of the paragraph, namely: on the occasion of the awarding of trophies, official FIFA photos and official presences in front of the media.
Messi is not worn tail but it was worn by the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani shortly before the World Cup trophy presentation procession.
When Sheikh Tamim couples tail on the podium, FIFA president Gianni Infantino was also on the podium and looked unimpeded.
Tail Messi didn’t wear it for long. When the third star was installed on Argentina’s shirt, the Albiceleste captain took off the special cape.
Tail instead of everyday clothes, they are kept for special occasions such as weddings or celebrations of festivals such as Eid al-Fitr, the religious holiday celebrated by Muslims that marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan from sunrise to sunset.
not only that, tail also used as a status symbol by people like royalty and the wealthy.
Tail Messi’s outfit has also drawn criticism from former footballers-turned-commentators like Gary Lineker and Pablo Zabaleta.
