It felt like a matter of time before the opening whistle for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was sounded, but only yesterday (Monday) we got the first break into the turf in order to protest the policy of the host in all respect to its intolerant approach on a variety of issues, including LGBT rights.



At the beginning of the second half to the turf A fan burst in wearing a shirt with a Superman logo and the inscription "Save Ukraine", the words "Respect for Iranian women" emblazoned on his back and a pride flag in his hand. This morning, even before it was known how he would be punished by the Qataris who are expected to expel him from the country at the very least, we found out who that brave person is that burst

A footballer and a righteous fighter.

According to a report in "CBS" it is an Italian citizen named Mario Perry, who made a name for himself as a serial burglar of soccer fields.

He also broke into the field in the 2010 World Cup semi-finals between Spain and Germany and in the same year also for the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Milan, in 2011 he broke into the Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United as well as the round of 16 of the World Cup in 2014 between Belgium and the United States.

Perry, nicknamed "The Falcon", also burst into the 2010 Club World Cup final between Inter Milan and Mazamba in Abu Dhabi.



The 35-year-old Perry has been a professional soccer player in recent years (in very low leagues, it is important to note), who this year signed in the minor league in India, but due to the outbreak of Corona and the suspension of the league, he left.

After that he returned to his homeland, but in a short time he went to Poland not to play football, but to help refugees from Ukraine - he rented a car and every day transported refugees from Lviv to Polish territory.

Moreover, in the summer he was a partner for a minute in Terra Fiori's match in the Conference League qualifiers, but left the team from San Marino shortly after.
