Qatar made the supporters sign a "code of conduct" in order to become spies, The Times reported. The group of fans is understood to include four members of the England band, including leader John Hemmingham. All are booked onto flights leaving for the Qatari capital Doha on November 17. Another 40 supporters from Wales have also signed up to the so-called "Fan Leader Programme", along with groups from the 30 other competing countries. But supporters' groups have branded the move a "sinister, distasteful" marketing exercise that looks to whitewash the tiny kingdom's appalling human rights record. Everyone who has signed up for the scheme in Qatar is guaranteed a ticket to the opening ceremony but must stay in the country for at least two weeks. They will be sat in groups and told to sing at appropriate times for the television cameras. One document sent to fan leaders reads: "In celebration of the fans around the world, over the period of five minutes, fan chants from each nation will be played and you will be expected to stand up, sing the song/chant, wave your flags and represent your country. "The camera will focus on each national fan group in turn. We will share with you the chant/song selected from your country){kind=link}
