A member of Qatar's royal family refused to acknowledge female officials with a fist bump during a FIFA Club World Cup awards ceremony. Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani was filmed bumping fists with male officials following Bayern Munich's 1-0 victory over Tigres UANL in the Club World Cup final in Qatar yesterday. Sheikh Joaan - who handed out the awards alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Thursday - is the younger brother of Qatar's ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and is the president of Qatar's Olympic Committee. The FIFA World Cup 2022 is set to be held in the controversial Gulf state - making it the first Muslim and Arab country to host the event. The male official following them also fails to receive a fist bump from the Sheikh - but the final male referee does.
