Also, legendary American actor Morgan Freeman entertained the fans as Qatar became the first Middle East country to host football’s biggest tournament.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 has been declared open at the Al Bayt stadium, Qatar. The glam opening ceremony was also graced by singer Fahad Al Kubaisi.

Speaking about the tournament, Morgan Freeman says “football spans the world, unites nations in their love of the beautiful game. What brings together nations, brings together communities.”

Meanwhile, being an Islamic country, every female fan in Qatar has to cover the upper part of their body. Also, they will not be allowed to wear clothes of above-knee length.
Consumption of alcohol is banned in Qatar but fan zones have been set up at various places by the government in view of the tournament.
