FIFA ticks off sexist broadcasters

Jul 12, 2018

FIFA has told off broadcasters for zooming in on attractive female members of the crowd at FIFA World Cup football matches. 

Its chief of diversity says it smacks of sexism. 

Anti-discrimination activists have said that sexism is the biggest problem at the tournament in Russia, mainly of Russian women being "accosted in the streets" by male fans.

Meanwhile, a photo agency has apologised, after it published a photo gallery of "the hottest fans at the World Cup", which featured exclusively young women.
