DOHA, Qatar -- United States men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter said that he and his team will continue to push the team's "Be the Change" message while in Qatar, even as FIFA has told participants not to raise awareness about the host country's treatment of migrant workers and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Those two issues have been highlighted from the moment that the Persian Gulf nation was awarded the World Cup back in 2010. Same-sex relationships are against the law in Qatar, and migrant workers, some of whom built the stadiums that will be used in the World Cup, have had to endure extremely difficult working and living conditions.
