Ferri: Pitch Invader Won't Face Legal Action But Will Be Kicked Out Of Qatar by chokekachy: 3:57pm On Nov 29, 2022
A protester who ran onto the pitch during Portugal's match against Uruguay will not face any further legal action - but is being removed from Qatar.

Mario Ferri was seen sprinting onto the grass at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on Monday waving a rainbow flag and wearing a T-shirt that read "Save Ukraine" on the front and "Respect for Iranian women" on the back.

The 35-year-old was quickly chased and detained by security officials.

On Tuesday, Mr Ferri, who describes himself as a footballer and influencer, told his Instagram followers he had been released by the Qatari authorities.

"So many emotions right now. No legal consequence I am free," he posted on his Instagram stories.

In a separate post, he described himself as a "Robin Hood 2.0" and detailed the reasons behind his pitch invasion.

"I wanted to send IMPORTANT messages for me that I have lived on my skin in the past months," he wrote.

"A message for Iran where I have friends who are suffering, where women are not respected.

"FIFA banned captain armbands with rainbow and human rights flags in the stands, they blocked everyone BUT NOT ME.

"SAVE UKRAINE. I was a month in the war in Kiev as a volunteer and I saw how much those people are suffering."

In a statement, the Qatar World Cup Supreme Committee confirmed Mr Ferri was "released shortly after being removed from the pitch" and "his embassy informed".

They added: "His Hayya Card has been cancelled and he has been banned from attending future matches at this tournament."

Hayya cards have to be obtained before gaining entry to Qatar, with some football fans reporting problems having them approved in time for matches.

Mr Ferri has a history of pitch invasions, doing the same during the Belgium v USA match at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil when his T-shirt read: "Save Favelas Children".

He was also seen on the pitch during a Napoli v Juventus game in 2017.

According to his profile on the website transfermarkt.com, Mr Ferri has played as a midfielder for the Italian team ASD Castel di Sangro since the summer.

His protests refer to homosexuality being illegal in the host nation Qatar, the death of the Iranian woman Mahsa Amini after she was arrested for not wearing her headscarf properly, and Russia's war in Ukraine.

FIFA has not commented on the pitch invasion.

To some extent I won’t blame pitch invaders provided they are passing a strong message to the world in general cos that’s the best way to reach a large audience

If I were to b an invader I will create awareness on these things

This is what I call activism at its finest; sacrificing your comfort and well-being to speak up against the infringement of other people's rights. Others can argue that his method wasn't conventional, but again, the message has been passed.


Something we seriously lack in this country. Here in Nigeria, we'd rather suffer, smile and pray to God to change our situation. Make una continue dey vote in bad leaders and praying to God to change una country. No one tells a blind man that it is about to rain, shebi himself go feel the breeze and him go hear the sound of thunder?

Clout chaser.
I think it's courtesy to obey the simple and reasonable rules of your guest wherever you find yourself. If he was serious about protesting he should have gone to the UN in New York or Moscow. There is nothing wrong in letting people know about your views but stop forcing everyone to give you special treatment because of your sexual nature. Care should be shown to people who are suffering from one terminal disease or the other, refugees or those who are have serious mental sickness etc.

Idiot with an indoctrinated mind that came from establishment propaganda..

Imagine shilling for Ukraine and the ongoing CIA protests in Iran thinking you are some kind of free spirited person when you are the very product of mass psychosis induced by the powers that be.

A shill for Globo Homo and an irredeemable idiot to boot.

Thats how they came to my motherland and told us our ways of life were archaic, made our forefathers exchange the black mans culture for that of the white, made us abandon our religion culture and mother tongue only to embrace theirs, forced the northern and southern protectorate into a strange marriage just to suit their selfish agendas. My people are now suffering the consequences many years after.
Now they are at it again trying to force their nonsense LG TV agenda down our throats. once you refuse to support sodomy you become an enemy. Just because Nigeria passed a law against Gay activities, they refused to sell weapons to help us fight terrorism during the jonathan Government. They are now infusing it into movies and children cartoons. Some who call themselves christians have conveniently forgotten that God destroyed a whole city because of this same abomination they are forcing everyone to accept. What they dont know is that the world has changed. Gone are those days when the West dictate to the rest of the world while parading themselves as saints whereas they are the worst of sinners. If i become President i will make LG TV punishable by death. Nonsense
