Football, the universal salve. FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ offers hope on the horizon
There is a ray of gold glinting over the horizon at us all and it’s reflecting off the polished orb atop the iconic Jules Rimet cup. That’s right, it’s officially time to dream aloud and shout from the rooftops: ‘FIFA World Cup 2022™ season has officially opened!’. We are proud to announce the following appointment. Expat Sport is appointed as Exclusive Sales Agent of MATCH Hospitality in the UAE for the sale of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Official Hospitality Programme.

The prospect of the World’s biggest sporting event packed full of happy and healthy spectators is enough to raise the spirits of us all and it’s a prospect that some of the greats of FIFA World Cup™ tournaments past are also keen to focus on as qualification rounds begin around the globe.

Former Brazil captain Cafu, who had the great honour of lifting the trophy twice in his illustrious career has been talking about his role for FIFA and his hopes for the tournament.

As a Global Ambassador for the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, Cafu has been reflecting on his golden memories and believes that the FIFA World Cup 2022™ will once again deliver indelible experiences of nail-biting drama, sorrow and joy for the almost 3.5 billion people around the globe expected to tune in or attend the tournament.

Speaking about the FIFA World Cup™ coming to the Middle East for the first time he said:

“The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ is a tournament for the entire world and so every country has the right to bid and play host to it. For passionate fans across the region, this must be very exciting. Having the tournament in your neighbourhood will offer millions the chance to attend it for the very first time. And knowing what they are planning in terms of infrastructure and fan experience, this tournament will be exciting for everyone.”

Asked about the unusual winter schedule due to the region’s very hot summer weather he continued:

“The timing of the tournament means that many players will be in peak fitness, because they won’t be joining their national teams after a long club season. Combined with the perfect weather conditions that the region is known for at that time of year, we are set to see some exciting football on the pitch. There will be no excuses for the biggest stars not to shine.”

For Cafu, there is no greater legacy for a professional player than to win this tournament:

“It’s what every player dreams of – to be a world champion. You play with and against the best players in the world. It’s where you want to be as a player.”

In short, it’s the stuff of dreams, and right now that’s what the world needs, hopes and dreams of golden sporting days to come and Expat Sport will be with you every step of the way.
