It released a photo showing the 144 life-sized trophies laid out across a floor and stated that “further legal procedures will be followed”.

Football’s governing body FIFA and Qatari authorities have stepped up warnings recently about distributing or buying World Cup fakes.
In June, Qatar warned drivers that it was illegal to have a World Cup logo on car number plates, after special plates were sold in online auctions.
One month earlier, police arrested five people for selling counterfeit clothes with the World Cup logo.
At the end of 2021, they raided a factory in the Gulf state producing perfume in bottles illegally using the World Cup brand.
