Australian gay footballer Josh Cavallo urged World Cup leaders to unite 'all the people'
By Sammy Mngqosini
Australian footballer Josh Cavallo, who is gay, urged World Cup leaders on Sunday to bring "all the people" together at the start of the tournament in Qatar.
''It's not the first time we've heard 'Focus on football.'
The attacks on the LGBTQ+ community by World Cup leaders affect so many that they live in silence due to their draconian ways.
To be a great leader in sport, one must never stop trying to unite ALL people," Cavallo said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Cavallo is the only openly gay senior male footballer in the world and has been speaking out about major issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community since coming out as gay in October 2021.
Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy recently told CNN that the 2022 World Cup will be "a safe and inclusive tournament" and said that "everyone is welcome, regardless of race, background, religion, gender, orientation or nationality".
Human Rights Watch has recently highlighted "arbitrary arrests and ill-treatment" of LGBTQ people in Qatar.
"The World Cup is just a few days away, but that's a long time for the Qatari government to end its mistreatment of LGBT people," Human Rights Watch said in an early November press release.
“The Qatari authorities must publicly condemn violence against LGBT people and formally acknowledge that having same-sex sexual attraction is not a mental health condition,” the statement said.

Only 8 teams have won the World Cup.
The historical teams are always protagonists of the bets and the recent international champions arrive as firm options.
The FIFA ranking, which is updated with the recent performance of all the teams, is an indicator, as well as the result of the qualifiers and the friendlies and tournaments in progress, which provide good elements to think about favorites.
In 2022 Latin America has its eyes on Brazil and Argentina, undefeated in qualifying for Qatar and dominant for years in Conmebol.
In Europe, France - the defending World Cup champion - and Belgium come to Qatar as candidates.
Based on their recent performance, world rankings, current squads and group stage opponents, these are the top favorites to win the World Cup:
Brazil
On paper, he is the absolute favourite: he is first in the official FIFA ranking, he was first and undefeated in the Conmebol World Cup qualifier (and having played one game less, along with Argentina) with 14 wins and three draws. and it has a luxury squad, with experienced players in the World Cup and top-level players in their clubs, led by Neymar, the 29-year-old striker for PSG and the second greatest player in history for the 'canarinha'.
Casemiro, VinĂcius JĂşnior, Gabriel JesĂşs, Fabinho, Éder Militao and Alisson Becker are just some of an all-star squad.
Tite has a very good record leading Brazil and has the experience and tools to be champion.
He lost the Copa América final with Argentina in 2021,

The Ecuadorian team beat its Qatari counterpart this Sunday in what was the opening match of the 2022 World Cup.
"La Tri" beat the Qataris 2 - 0, who throughout the game struggled to have a dangerous play in the Ecuadorian area.
(In fact, his most dangerous play came in the 85th minute of the game thanks to a long-range shot that went just over the crossbar.)
The two Ecuadorian goals came from striker Enner Valencia, who also had a goal disallowed for offside just 5 minutes into the game.
Ecuador's next rival is the Netherlands, a match that will be played on Friday.
Qatar will face Senegal in their second group game, also on Friday.
