Beckham praises Qatar Foundation’s accessibility services to people with disabilities
David Beckham, an English football player, urged young athletes to appreciate sports, especially football, which demands commitment, hard work, and occasionally making sacrifices.
This occurred while Beckham was visiting the Education City stadium and a number of Qatar Foundation facilities.
Beckhams tour at Education City included a stop at the art installation titled “Come Together” by the South Korean artist Choi Jeong Hwa, which symbolizes the joy of the people of Qatar, and of the fans, realizing their dream of Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Beckham praised the sensory assistance mobile trailer provided by the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, saying: “The interactive features inside the sensory mobile trailer caters to different sensory needs for children. And because each of us responds differently to stimulations, the sensory mobile trailer provides a variety of elements to help fans take a break from the loud atmosphere of a game.”
Regarding accessibility services available to the fans with disabilities during Qatar World Cup, Beckham said: “This is an example of the power of sport and the power of this tournament. Its great that there are all of these offerings for children with different needs, where they have the chance to attend games in football stadiums in comfort, and also have somewhere to get away from the hectic side of a football match with their families.”
During his journey, Beckham also stopped by the Goals 2022 exhibition at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Design Arts in Qatar, where he saw a selection of images and videos documenting Qataris’ daily life as they prepared for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
