Fund launched to persuade FIFA where to host 2030 World Cup with 'donations'

LGBT+ football fans have launched a fund in an attempt to persuade FIFA where to hold the 2030 World Cup through 'donations'.

This year's tournament is being held in Qatar, which is alleged to hunt, arrest and beat LGBT+ people. Considering a bid for the 2030 tournament is Saudi Arabia, another country which outlaws homosexuality and persecutes the LGBT+ community.

In an attempt to stop the Middle East nation from winning the right to host, LGBT+ football fans, including iconic actress Miriam Margolyes, have launched the Big Gay Donation to convince the "definitely not corrupt people who run football to host an LGBTQ+ friendly 2030 World Cup".
