The statement says that “We don’t wish to be visible during a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives. We support the Danish national team all the way, but that isn’t the same as supporting Qatar as a host nation.”
The host nation Qatar have been heavily criticised for their management of the World Cup so far, with thousands of people losing their lives whilst building stadiums for the Winter tournament.
Hummel will continue to sponsor Denmark at the tournament but they have said they will be toning down the details on the jersey, including the company’s badge and chevrons.
