The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is an achievement for the entire Arab world: Qatar Legacy Ambassadors
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is currently in full swing, and football fans from all over the world are taking in a festival of the game at eight cutting-edge stadiums.
The tournament is proving to be a huge success for the entire Middle East and the Arab world, according to Qatar Legacy Ambassadors Ahmad Khalil, Ibrahim Khalfan, and Adel Khamis.

“Everyone who has made their way to Qatar has been amazed by this once-in-a-lifetime festival. From beautiful stadiums to wonderful cultural experiences, fans are able to immerse themselves in our signature hospitality and enjoy world-class football,” said Khamis, a former attacking midfielder for the Qatar national team.
Many of the incredible venues showcase local culture, including the magnificent Al Bayt Stadium, with its structure inspired by the tents used by nomadic peoples.

“The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is an achievement for the entire Arab world. It gives us the opportunity to celebrate our culture, while showing off our football pedigree. For far too long, this region has been stereotyped without us having the opportunity to show the world that we are talented, determined and peace-loving people. This World Cup has given the opportunity to change all that,” said Khalfan, considered to be one of Qatar’s greatest wingers of all time.
A total of four Arab teams are taking part in the tournament, with hosts Qatar competing in a World Cup for the first time. The Maroons were drawn in Group A alongside the Netherlands, Ecuador, and Senegal. And although they were knocked out in the group stage, Khalil sees the tournament as an important milestone for local football.

“The World Cup will be yet another turning point for the development of the sport in the country, even though Qatar’s results were not what we had hoped for. A new generation of players will be inspired to compete on the biggest football stage in the world by the unforgettable experience. The future of football in Qatar is promising, and this competition will serve as a significant spur for greater success, according to Khalil, who guided Qatar to the 1992 Arabian Gulf Cup.
“What we have accomplished extends beyond football,” he continued. This accomplishment embodies our goal of creating a contemporary country that values excellence and humanity, and it combines our talent and tenacity.
