Infantino was pictured wearing a facemask with the Sri Lankan national flag during a meeting with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, and Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa.
However, following objections raised over the facemask, Umar issued a statement noting that Infantino had worn the facemask with the Sri Lankan flag due to his love and respect for Sri Lanka and no other reason.
However, Umar stated that he would apologise to the public on behalf of the SLFF if Infantino’s facemask had offended any person or hurt any person’s sentiment.
