- Neville grilled about decision to attend World Cup
- Looked visibly uncomfortable by questioning
- Criticism has been aimed at host nation Qatar
WHAT HAPPENED? Neville appeared as a guest host on the BBC's Have I Got News for You and was challenged for his decision to attend the World Cup in Qatar. Panellist Ian Hislop questioned whether Neville was making the right decision, and asked him why he had chosen to go to the tournament as a member of the media.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar has been criticised in part due to the country's questionable human rights record. Some teams will and have voiced opinions on the decision, with the Australia men's national team having released a video sharing concerns about human rights and workers’ welfare. Meanwhile, England captain Harry Kane will wear a One Love armband at the tournament, in support of LGBTQ+ rights, as part of a campaign against discrimination.
