The credit card company announced it would donate the equivalent value of the meals to the World Food Programme (WFP) for children in Latin America and the Caribbean each time the football stars net a goal between now and March 2020.

But, despite the campaign being backed by Messi and Neymar, it instantly sparked outrage on Twitter, with some likening the “horrible publicity stunt” to the fictitious Hunger Games, and many suggesting Mastercard should just hand over the money if it can afford to.

“If you’ve got the money @Mastercard, just give it away anyway,” one person said. “Don’t let the fate of starving children rest on multimillionaire footballers.”

“This is absolutely disgusting,” said another. “Give them the food anyway.”

“Wow, just wow,” another Twitter user said in response. “The World Cup that became known as the ‘#Hunger_Games'.”

MH17: World Cup 2018 shouldn’t be held in Russia, says Nick Clegg | Western Daily Press

The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said that allowing the Football World Cup 2018 to go ahead in Russia was “unthinkable” - and Russia’s first F1 Grand Prix which is due to take place in Sochi in October should also be cancelled.

He said it was “unthinkable” at present that the tournament could go ahead in the country blamed by the West for supplying arms to the separatist rebels accused of causing the deaths of all 298 on board.

Without a change of course by president Vladimir Putin, Mr Clegg said it would make the world look “so weak and so insincere” in its condemnation of Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and support for the rebels.

Football’s world governing body Fifa this week ruled out calls from some German politicians for Russia to be boycotted, insisting the tournament could be “a force for good”.
