Television crews filming the Qatar World Cup were reportedly told that they had to capture FIFA president Gianni Infantino at least once at every game, but they couldn't screen footage of him on his phone.
The Times report that the Swiss-based Host Broadcast Service - the crew used by FIFA for World Cup matches, and the company whose original footage would then be used by BBC and ITV - were sent emailed orders over the level and type of coverage of Infantino that was expected.
They were told to obey three rules when screening footage of Infantino and whomever he was sitting next to as his guest, with the FIFA president attending all 64 matches at last November and December's tournament, at least in part.
