Gary Lineker explained the BBC’s decision not to show the Qatar World Cup closing ceremony on terrestrial television was not a politically motivated decision.
On this occasion, as the BBC again chose to limit coverage of the closing ceremony, Lineker explained: ‘As is customary on BBC One for major football finals we’re going to concentrate on the action.
‘But if you would prefer and like to watch the closing ceremony it will be live iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and the red button.’ As the ceremony commenced, Lineker could not resist a subtle dig at FIFA president Gianni Infantino who had been lauding the success of the competition at a press conference on Friday.
He added: ‘The closing ceremony is just getting underway, remember it is live on the red button and iPlayer. ‘If you want to watch FIFA president Gianni Infantino this week called it the best World Cup ever… I had a feeling he might.’
