A Hereford pub has announced that it will not be showing any matches from the Qatar World Cup, due to being a company with strong beliefs.

In a post on social media, The Victory Pub & Hereford Brewery said:

“We are a company of good faith and strong beliefs and after much discussion we can not in good faith show a single football match from Qatar.  

“We understand how difficult for some people it will be to accept this choice but we have decided we must be true to ourselves.

“The lack of tolerance In the nation of Qatar means we will not give a platform for them to sportwash themselves. 

“Good luck to the home nations.”
