[Saba Sports News] According to British media, boos could be heard around the stadium when the broadcast cameras panned to FIFA President Gianni Infantino during the World Cup semi-final between France and Spain. This World Cup semi-final was held in Dallas. In the second half, live footage cut to Infantino sitting in the stands, which was met with jeers from the crowd. However, broadcasters later clarified that the spectators were not booing Infantino. The large stadium screen at that moment was showing Jerry Jones, owner of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Even so, many fans mistakenly believed Infantino was the target of the boos. One took to social media to write: “During the World Cup semi between Spain and France, the whole stadium let out unrelenting boos the second FIFA President Infantino appeared on the big screen.”
The editor believes that Fox Sports’ broadcast captured a rather ironic moment: live footage aired globally showed Gianni Infantino on screen, while the stadium’s giant display simultaneously featured Jerry Jones, who was met with boos from the crowd.
