FIFA announced this evening (Thursday) that it will conduct an internal investigation to understand how the successful Turkish chef Nosert Gaccha, known as Salt Bae, entered the field at the end of the World Cup final, criticized the Argentina players, held the World Cup and even received a cool response from Leo Messi, from whom he asked be photographed.
FIFA describes the World Cup as iconic and claims that those who can touch and hold it are only a very limited group of people, including former World Cup winners and heads of state. After receiving harsh criticism in recent days, the football organization decided to respond with an internal investigation to understand how the chef arrived to the situation where he got mixed up among the world champion players.

What is ironic about FIFA's announcement is the fact that its president - Gianni Infantino - is a close friend of Nossert, who eats at his restaurants around the world and apparently received permission to enter the pitch from Infantino himself. The chef, who has a restaurant in Doha, was a guest of FIFA. A at the World Cup games with VIP access and throughout the month post photos and videos on social networks.
