In 2014, singer Rihanna also famously courted controversy for touching the World Cup after Germany’s win over Argentina in extra-time. The FIFA World Cup trophy has some rules and regulations attached to who can touch or hold it and who cannot. "The appropriate internal action will be taken," he added. Earlier in the World Cup, he posted a video of himself at a match sitting alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Another video which turned heads was of Christian Romero's where he is looking on helplessly as Gokce snatched the trophy from his son. Messi was seen uncomfortable and tried to sidestep the unwanted attention. Immediately following the final match of the World Cup final, he approached the Argentine players. He was banned from The US Open Cup, a knockout competition featuring teams from the MLS as well as other domestic tournaments. One of the pictures which quickly got picked up by netizens was where Messi was seen visibly irritated by him as he almost forces him to take a picture with the chef. The 39-year-old Salt Bae, Nusret Gokçe, is the owner of a network of opulent eateries throughout the globe, including Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and London's exclusive Knightsbridge. After the controversy, Gokçe on Thursday was banned from attending a US sporting event, as per US Sun. The thought of a chef salting his steak in the most chic manner must have sprung to mind only from the term Salt Bae.

Who is Salt Bae and why is he trending (India Today)

Nusret Gokce, also known as Salt Bae, has been banned from attending the US Open Cup Final 2023. Here's all you need to know about the Turkish chef.

Born in 1983 in Erzurum, Nusret, the man behind his nickname Salt Bae, is a Turkish butcher, chef and entrepreneur who rose to fame because of his peculiar way of sprinkling salt on a steak. Since then, he has been known as Salt Bae. The celebrity chef took the internet by storm back in 2017 after a clip of him cutting an Ottoman beef steak with a dramatic effect went viral. During his twenties, Nusret learnt more about beef and the art of butchery in Buenos Aires and, later, opened a restaurant. It translates to "Salt before anyone else," despite Nusret's love for steak. Salt Bae left the internet fuming after he grabbed the coveted FIFA trophy and then tried to get a selfie clicked with Lionel Messi, who was noticeably irritated in a viral clip.

Who is Salt Bae, the Turkish chef who is under investigation by Fifa? (The Indian Express)

Chef and influencer Salt Bae accosted Argentina's players after their final win and “illegally” touched the Fifa World Cup Trophy.

FIFA are now conducting an investigation into the circumstances which led up to Salt Bae ending up on the pitch. His eye-catching style earned him the “Salt Bae” moniker and also made him a viral meme. He was also seen holding the Fifa World Cup Trophy itself and performing his trademark salt-sprinkling pose with it. He owns Nusr-Et, a chain of luxury steakhouses with branches in Turkey, Greece, the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Nusret Gökçe or, as he is more popularly known, Salt Bae is a Turkish butcher, chef, food entertainer and restaurateur who went viral in January 2017 for his unique style of seasoning steaks. On December 18, Turkish chef Salt Bae was seen on the field at the Lusail Stadium during Argentina’s post World Cup revelries.

Salt Bae World Cup Trophy Outrage Is A Matter Of Taste (Forbes)

Nusret Gokce, who shot to fame on Instagram for his distinctive method for seasoning ridiculously large steaks, was pictured lifting, kissing, slapping and, ...

A sharp word with a security guard could easily have had him removed. I’ve seen it myself, people pick at the food, but have their hands glued to their phones. “This is ridiculous, shame on FIFA for allowing him to touch, kiss, and hold the World Cup. Unless you are directly associated to this Argentina team, you should NOT be touching [the] trophy or gatecrashing the party.” Back in 2018, he pranced around the pitch in the rain and practically had to have the trophy wrestled from his grasp by Infantino, having kissed it more than once. You could argue that the World Cup is such a powerful honor only those with the closest connection to the players should be allowed onto the pitch, but frankly whoever wins it deserves to be able to do what they want. While Terry Flewers assertion that only those with a direct connection to the team can join the celebrations after winning the trophy, the reality is any concept of the sanctity of this event has disappeared. Diego Maradona was a regular visitor to his Dubai restaurant when he lived there and Gokce closed his favorite table as a mark of respect in the wake of his death. Ahead of the final the influencer also promised the team a free meal if they won the trophy and keen not to miss out made sure he was at the game. Perhaps wanting to make that point, the Turkish influencer re-shared footage of Lionel Messi in 2018 pulling his arm to get a picture after the Salt Bae was mocked for being ignored in his efforts to do the same after the final. None of this justifies his clowning around with the trophy, but it explains why he was there in the first place. People don’t go visit his Nusr-Et restaurants to have their palate’s tickled they pay for an experience that can be uploaded to social media.
