Well-known US soccer journalist Grant Wahl died on Friday, December 9, after suffering “acute distress” while covering a match at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, his agent said.
His agent, Tim Scanlan, told Reuters that Wahl had “appeared to suffer some kind of acute distress in the start of extra time” at the quarterfinal match. Wahl said in late November he was briefly detained when he tried to enter a World Cup stadium in Qatar while wearing a rainbow shirt in support of the LGBTQ community in a country where same-sex relations are illegal.
