Germany captain Joshua Kimmich says he regrets the political stance the nation’s football team took at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
On November 23, 2022, the German players posed for a team picture with their hands over their mouths in the Qatari capital, Doha, before their opening group match against Japan to signify their protest at FIFA, world football’s governing body, which had threatened sanctions against players wearing armbands in support of political causes at the tournament.
