France forward feels conflicted playing in Qatar World Cup
‘That community will always have my support’

Antoine Griezmann has reiterated his support for the LGBTQ+ community in the buildup to France’s last-16 World Cup tie with Poland and suggested he feels conflicted playing in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal.

Griezmann has been vocal in his support for LGBTQ+ people and said he was “proud” when the A-League player Josh Cavallo became the first active openly gay male footballer in the world last year. In May, the Blackpool teenager Jake Daniels became the first male footballer in the UK to come out as gay since 1990.
