A FIFA discrimination monitor has demanded the removal of a video review official. The official reportedly made a hand gesture resembling a white supremacist sign during Germany's World Cup match. The gesture, known as the 'OK' sign, has been designated a hate symbol. The monitor stated the official should have no further role in the tournament.

Referee Shaun Evans was on VAR during Germany's victory over Curacao when he was shown staring into the camera before kick-off, as has become customary at World Cup matches.

Match coverage cut to the VAR room ahead of Germany-Curaçao where the official appeared to make the gesture.
