Australia's Jackson Irvine has family and friends who are from the LGBTQIA+ community. The Socceroos midfielder talks with conviction about promoting LGBTQIA+ rights in football and asks for clear messages about inclusivity to come out of Qatar 2022.
--
On the eve of the men’s World Cup in Qatar, FIFPRO is launching a series for professional footballers to talk about some of the topics that matter most to them.
World Cup-bound Sebastian Coates (Uruguay), Jackson Irvine (Australia) and Mark-Anthony Kaye (Canada) start the series by discussing their personal experiences with a view to bringing attention to important social and industrial issues.
As millions of people turn their attention to the World Cup, the series - known as #ShineALight - offers footballers the chance to relay genuine and selfless messages which aim to contribute to the wellbeing of others.
Over the coming months, and ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, more players will join the series to turn the spotlight to issues they care about.

I''m from Argentina, this guy is a great player, I don't know where he plays, but he needs to be in Europe.
Also is a great example for other players from here, I hope they can see this video, because Argentina is not so cool and modern about sexuality and this kind of topics. It has changed a lot, but in football some things doesn't change so easily.
