A Dailymail report said that the man underwent surgery on his “lower regions” in Kielce on November 25. During the match between Wales and Iran, the unnamed man reportedly asked the doctors if he could watch the game.

After giving him spinal anaesthesia, the doctors let him watch the World Cup on the television placed in one corner of the operation theatre. The procedure, which lasted up to three hours, gave the man ample time to watch the Wales team get defeated.

The Poland hospital shared the photograph on social media which went viral. “Our patients just have a service All the gentlemen in the subliminal anesthesia are delighted ⚽️ pano️ #worldcup2022 #football #katar2022,” SP ZOZ MSWiA w Kielcach captioned the photograph.
