French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday waded into the controversy around Qatar's hosting of the World Cup, insisting sport should not be politicised. "I think we must not politicise sport," said Macron, whose national team are defending the title they won in Russia in 2018. The 2022 World Cup, which kicks off on Sunday, has been dogged by controversy, including over Qatar's alleged human rights abuses, suppression of dissent, mistreatment of foreign workers and persecution of LGBTQ people.
