They weren't playing for $3 though. Nor were they playing in France. It was a high-profile event for a lot of money, conducted (quite intentionally) in a country that was subject to severe sanctions.

If the government says not to do business in Qatar, and you do business in Qatar, you're going to get on a list of people who broke the law about doing business in Qatar. How else do you expect the world to operate...

I guess no one remembers what happened in Bosnia? Considering the ethnic cleansing that the government of Yugoslavia was spending its money on, it's not surprising people made laws designed to keep them from getting more money.
