At a moment when there is a lot of hate for migrants, I wonder if the World Cup could be a place to express love and gratitude.

Article 27 of Fifa's code of ethics strictly prohibits all active participants in the game to benefit from a relationship with the sports betting industry. It seems that a different rule applies to the current manager of Benfica, however, who was in charge of Fenerbahce at the time.
