The mascot of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Zabivak’s wolf, has been removed from the promotional video for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, writes the deputy general producer of on his Telegram channel Vasily Konov .
According to the journalist, the Russian talisman was removed by the video provider at the request of FIFA.
– Quite by chance, I discovered an interesting detail: the contractor who made the video with the mascot of the World Cup in Qatar, at the last moment, at the request of FIFA, removed a fragment of the funny video where our Zabivaka was, like a bridge between the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup. They were afraid of the wolf, they canceled it after Russia. What wonderful people,” Konov wrote. – They say that in the original version of the video there were very cool references to the World Cup in Russia, there was a real bridge between the two tournaments, but in the end they decided that it was too complementary to Russia and now it cannot be allowed.
The World Cup in Qatar will take place in November-December 2022.
