Mateusz Klich's message of support to Rasmus Kristensen after Denmark's World Cup kit stance

Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klcih has applauded Denmark's blank kit decision ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year in a message to his Whites teammate Rasmus Kristensen. The Danes' kit supplier Hummel have ‘toned down’ their logo and chevrons on their kits.

The tournament hasn't been short of controversy with allegations of corruption in the bidding process as well as claims relating to migrant workers losing their lives in the construction of World Cup venues and projects. The country's human rights have also come under scrutiny.
