While the 2022 World Cup is the subject of many scandals, here is a new one that could make people talk. But scandal or not, the competition which was initially to be boycotted by the French and other countries, has nevertheless been wildly successful, as evidenced by the audience records since the start of the competition. In fact, the country may not have needed to use influencers to promote the event.
Because yes, for a few hours, bloggers have been ensuring that Qatar has paid personalities, and in particular reality TV candidates, to attend the matches and relay the event on their social networks. Internet users have undoubtedly noticed that Jessica Thivenin, Kevin Guedj, Paga who will soon become a dad, or even Vincent Queijo attended France’s match against Australia on Tuesday, November 22. If most of them live in the country and can easily afford a ticket to attend the party, they would not have paid anything to get there, according to the revelations of Mayamo TV.
Influencers paid to advertise?
Indeed, the blogger indicates that Thibault Garcia and the others would have been paid by Qatar to come and support the Blues. A decision taken following the call for a boycott from many other countries. The blogger goes even further and balances the supposed cachet that the candidates would have received to go to the match.
“Each Marseillais received at least 10,000 euros per person according to my source”, he blurted out. A little later, it was the blogger Navid Cherche who confirmed the statements of his counterpart. This also indicated that Bastos would also have received this offer, which he would have declined. The blogger even released a “proof” of the email received to support his remarks. An email in which there was talk of a “visit” of Qatar and Saudi Arabia for 6 days and 5 nights, all expenses paid. It remains to be seen whether the influencers have indeed been paid or whether this controversy is unfounded.
