David Beckham suffered an unfortunate moment during his time in Qatar when he was forced to change his tyre while wearing a whole set of designer clothes.
The former Manchester United midfielder shared a photo on his Instagram as he was changing his tyre in the Middle East as he continues to attend the World Cup. Beckham was as stylish as ever in white trousers and a lightly coloured top as he tried to fix the vehicle.
The 47-year-old knelt down at the wheel of the large black car, with Beckham also wearing woven moccasins, while he shielded his eyes behind a pair of fancy shades. He decided to take to Instagram as he posted a picture of himself with the car.
Beckham posted the image with a captain that said: "Not exactly dressed for the occasion' before adding 'I mean not every day is perfect'." The ex-England star was on the far right-hand lane of the five-lane motorway as he fixed up his tyre.
Having reportedly accepted a £150million pay cheque from the country, Beckham's association with the Qatar World Cup has been filled with controversy.
The World Cup has been dogged by criticism, ranging from Qatar's treatment of migrant workers and members of the LGBTQ+ community, to the disputed environmental impact and issues with crowds at stadiums. FIFA's vote to send the tournament to Qatar has been mired in corruption allegations - and the organisation is now locked in various legal battles with the hosts.
The Daily Mail reported that FIFA have sent 'several legal letters' to Qatar's Supreme Committee since the tournament kicked off on November 20. One of the main disputes occurred when Qatar decided to ban the sale of alcohol inside the stadiums and fan parks.
This was a clear breach of FIFA's hugely lucrative multi-million pound sponsorship with Budweiser. The beer company are now reportedly due a huge amount of compensation and FIFA have sent legal letters in an effort to make sure Qatar pays up.
The tournament then came under further criticism when Qatar World Cup chief executive Nasser Al-Khater made a bizarre statement when asked about the migrant worker who died while working at Saudi Arabia's training camp. The tragic news was confirmed last week that a worker had passed away while performing repairs on Saudi's training facility at the Sealine Beach resort.
When asked about the incident, Al-Khater told the BBC : "It has been a successful World Cup and this is something you want to talk about. Death is a natural part of life, whether it’s at work or in your sleep. A worker died, our condolences go to his family. However, it is strange that this is something you want to focus on as your first question."
