During the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, captain's armbands with the message "One Love" have created a big discussion.

Seven countries (England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland) were stopped by Fifa from wearing the armbands, as their use would be punished.

They have instead worn the armbands produced by Fifa, which have different messages for each round.

Now the secretary general of the organizing committee for the World Cup in Qatar, Hassan al-Thawadi, shares his view of the ties.

- It is a Fifa decision.

I was not part of that discussion.

I wasn't nervous about it but for me, so if a team chooses to wear them throughout the season, that's one thing.

But if they're doing this to score a point in Qatar, that's something I have a problem with," he told TalkSport.

al-Thawadi believes that Qatar belongs to a part of the world, the Arab world, which has its own values.

- That teams come and share a message, that's fine, but what they're really saying is that they're protesting against an Islamic country hosting a championship.

How far should it be drawn?

Should an Islamic country never host a championship?

So if you share a message here in Qatar or specifically directed at Qatar and by extension the Arab world, I will of course have a problem with it, he says.

The Qatar base is clear that everyone is welcome in Qatar.

But when he receives questions about objects with rainbow colors being confiscated in connection with matches, he develops his thought.

- We have said that everyone is welcome.

We have also asked people to come here and respect our culture, our religion.

A subject like this is complicated.

It is something that for us, or at least for this part of the world, is a fundamental part of our religious values, says al-Thawadi.
