Yearender 2022- Four Major Controversies in Football in 2022

However,
amidst
all
the
footballing
celebrations,
there
were
also
a
fair
number
of
controversies
that
raised
a
few
eyebrows.

As
the
year
2022
is
inching
toward
the
end,
here
we
have
looked
at
four
big
controversies
that
shocked
the
world
in
2021-

1.
Human
Rights
Issue
in
World
Cup

Since
the
selection
of
Qatar
as
the
World
Cup
2022
host
in
2010,
the
tournament
has
been
a
center
of
controversy
mostly
related
to
human
rights
issues.
The
‘One
Love’
armband
was
a
part
of
the
mountain
of
controversies
surrounding
the
2022
World
Cup.
Another
most
serious
and
sensitive
allegation
was
regarding
Qatar’s
open
violation
of
workers’
rights.

2.
Mason
Greenwood
rape
charges

Probably
the
most
horrendous
news
of
them
all,
the
Manchester
United
attacker
was
accused
of
sexually
assaulting
and
subjecting
his
girlfriend
to
domestic
abuse.
The
incidents
reportedly
took
place
last
year
and
the
lady
made
things
public
only
at
the
start
of
2022.
He
since
has
been
suspended
by
the
club.

3.
Cristiano
Ronaldo’s
explosive
interview

The
Manchester
United
talisman
released
a
shocking
interview
just
ahead
of
the
World
Cup
where
he
shredded
the
club
and
manager
Ten
Hag
into
pieces.

The
Portuguese
superstar
found
it
hard
to
cement
a
place
in
the
starting
XI
this
term
and
was
already
involved
in
a
controversy
when
he
left
the
stadium
against
Tottenham
before
the
game
ends.
The
explosive
interview
saw
the
club
terminating
his
current
contract
eventually.

4.
Juventus’ financial
turmoil

In
a
shocking
turn
of
events,
the
entire
board
of
directors
at
Serie
A
giants
Juventus
resigned
on
November
28,
2022.
The
collective
resignation
came
after
the
investigation
into
Juventus’
financial
accounts
by
Italian
market
regulator
Consob
and
Italian
prosecutors
for
possible
incorrect
accounting
and
market
manipulation.
Further
inquiry
is
still
going.
