Dünyez Ondav Yazidi dance at World Cup

German national team star Deniis Ondava celebrated his goal in the World Cup in a traditional Yazidi-Kurdish manner that reflects his cultural identity. During a match against Curaçao, he scored and responded with a heritage dance, showcasing pride in his Yazidi and Kurdish roots, despite having previously faced racist insults during a game in Istanbul. Ondava, born in Germany to a family that fled Turkey after the 1980 coup, belongs to an ethnic group of approximately one million Yazidis, with the largest concentration living in Germany.
