Qatar has made a new history in football and international sports, by hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, by attracting the world into the region, said one of the greatest Qatari footballers of all time, Khalfan Ibrahim.
“We have been waiting for the World Cup for a long time. The defining moment that Qataris yearned for is now: it is a result of strenuous efforts made by the country over the years,” he said speaking to media at the Host Country Media Centre.
“We are happy with the way it is being organised and how it dazzled the world. Qatar sent many humanitarian messages to the world at the opening ceremony. As expressed through these messages Qatar and the Arab world love peace and co-existence and we have conveyed it to the world,” Ibrahim, who represented Qatar in 90 international matches, added.
