Unpleasant incident at the World Cup draw! Scaloni was forbidden to touch the World Cup trophy – Infantino has already apologized
During the 2026 World Cup draw held yesterday, an awkward episode unfolded involving the holder of the 2022 World Cup title.
Details: Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni took to the stage with the trophy, but he wasn't allowed to touch the World Cup until he put on gloves.
Today, Scaloni commented on the situation with a sense of humor:
"I think they confused me with someone else and didn't let me touch it yesterday."
While the match schedule was being arranged, FIFA President Gianni Infantino personally apologized to the World Cup-winning coach and invited him back on stage—this time without gloves—to touch the trophy.
Infantino emphasized:
"I apologize on behalf of FIFA. Of course, world champions have the right to touch the trophy."
Reminder: Lionel Messi shared that teammates Paredes and De Paul annoy him.
