'The gays have FIFA' is the new provocative work by Andrea Villa, the street artist renamed the Turin Banksy, created in view of the start of the World Cup in Qatar.

"I wanted to pose two main problems in the world of football - explains Villa -. The first is the LGBT issue and the latent homophobia in the football environment. I represented Mbappé and Ronaldo kissing, icons of modern football in a world where there are Serie A players who are openly homosexual (very strange), and where women in sports programs are considered objects without a brain.Secondly - continues Villa - the scandals of the treatment of the LGBT community in Qatar and the limited freedom of expression even towards women. Shameful how FIFA has so blatantly thrown away its image for cowardly money and economic interests".

The posters in Turin are posted in corso Fiume and corso Regina Margherita.
