DOMINANT ANGLE
Al Jazeera and Gulf Times: Infantino decides, sport takes precedence over politics
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Qatari media cover the confirmation as routine sports governance — Infantino confirmed, Trump approved. Al Jazeera covers the Toronto airport incident as a diplomatic friction point. No questioning of Iranian team legitimacy. Trump is even cited receiving a nomination for a 'FIFA peace prize' per the White House — reported without irony.
