    The airline Lufthansa said it would use a plane with the badge “#DiversityWins!” by moving the German soccer team and fans to the World Cup in Qatar, one of the most controversial tournaments in history.

    The aircraft has already taken off with players, coaches and staff from the coaching staff heading to Muscat, Oman, where the German team will meet before the start of the competition. “The aircraft assigned to the flight, an Airbus A330, sports a special slogan to send a clear message to the world: #DiversityWins!”, Lufthansa said in a statement.
