 VAR official caught flashing ‘white supremacy’ gesture at World Cup game


Fare Network, an organisation established to counter inequality and discrimination in football, has called on FIFA to remove a video assistant referee (VAR) official from the World Cup after he flashed an allegedly white supremacist gesture during a match.


The incident happened when Germany faced Curaçao on Sunday. When the pre-game footage of the official broadcast cut to the VAR team, Shaun Evans, one of the officials, was seen making a reversed “okay” sign with his right hand in front of his right leg.


Anti-Defamation League, a global anti-bigotry organisation, designated the gesture as a hate symbol since 2019.


In a statement, Fare Network, a long-time partner of FIFA to monitor racist and discriminatory behaviour, said “the gesture used clearly resembles an upside-down ‘OK’ hand symbol used as a ‘white power’ symbol in global far-right circles”.


“Clearly, this official should have no further role to play in this World Cup,” the statement read.


It remains unclear whether Evans, an Australian making his World Cup debut, was making a political gesture
