Jamie Carragher has accused World Cup organisers of making a "politically cynical" move with their appointment of ambassadors around the tournament.
A number of former stars have taken ambassadorial roles, including Carragher's ex- England team-mate David Beckham. Inter Miami co-owner Beckham, who ended his playing career with Paris Saint-Germain in 2013, reportedly signed an ambassadorial deal with Qatar worth £15million a year and has been promoting the upcoming competition.
Beckham has come in for criticism, with Eric Cantona among those to question his former Manchester United colleague. Now Carragher, while not calling out players by name, has taken aim at FIFA's record with ambassadorial appointments.
