The FIFA World Cup 2022 kicked off on Sunday.
This year’s World Cup was held in Qatar for the first time in the Middle East, and it was also the second time it was held in an Asian country. Due to the rare opportunity, Qatar welcomes this global carnival football event with the greatest sincerity. After 12 years of preparations, the World Cup has gotten underway, with the opening ceremonies kicking it off at Qatar’s Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday.
“It is positive that the World Cup in an Arab country will give a different impression of us, away from stereotypes. I am here to support the Qatari team.”

Qatar lost 0-2 to Ecuador in the opener.
