A second sports journalist has died in Qatar while covering the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Gulf Times initially reported the death of Qatari photojournalist Khalid al-Misslam who they say “died suddenly” over the weekend, Fox Sports reported.
“Al- Misslam, a Qatari, died suddenly while covering the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. We believe in Allah’s mercy and forgiveness for him, and send our deepest condolences to his family. We are all Allah’s and to Him we return,” the Qatari outlet said of the deceased journalist.
Neither the Qatari government nor the local media outlets revealed the circumstances of the journalist’s death, but this was the second death of a journalist at the World Cup this year.
