FIFA says it is set to investigate a gesture allegedly made by Australian referee Shaun Evans during the World Cup match between Germany and Curacao. Reports describe Evans, who is part of the officiating team and was working as a VAR official during Germany’s 7-1 win, being shown on camera before kick-off. According to the outlets, viewers and some commentators interpret the hand signal as relating to “white supremacy” or “white power,” while Evans has been accused on that basis. Other reporting notes that players and officials are often shown to the broadcast camera at World Cup matches, including during pre-match moments. The investigation is intended to determine what the gesture was and whether any misconduct occurred under FIFA rules. The claim centers on the interpretation of the recorded hand position and the timing in relation to the match broadcast. FIFA has not publicly concluded the investigation in the provided reports and the outcome is pending.
