Today’s top news is the installation of a controversial work of art in Qatar depicting Zinédine Zidane’s infamous “headbutt” against Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup final. Situated on the Doha Corniche, the bronze statue, created by Adel Abdessemed, stands over five meters tall and weighs several tons. Acquired by the Qatar Museums Authority in preparation for the 2022 Football World Cup, the piece has stirred debate. Adel Abdessemed, a French visual artist born in Algeria, previously exhibited the work on the Beaubourg esplanade in France. The incident, where Zidane received a red card for the violent headbutt just minutes before Italy claimed victory in the final on penalties, remains a notable moment in football history.
