The 2022 World Cup is over but it will be remembered for many things.
One of such being the stand of Qatar against LGBTQ activities in the country, even when some countries and groups in the West raised objections against the country.
Qatar will be remembered for setting a standard and didn’t fall below expectations.
It will also be remembered as a country where Nigerian artists and songs thrilled fans and also remembered as the first tournament to be held in the Middle East and the first where a woman, Stephanie Frappart, refereed a men’s world cup match.
Still in the tournament, Morocco became the first African country to reach the final four of the tournament, beating Spain, Portugal and Belgium.
After 63 matches and 29 days of spectacular football, an opening ceremony heralded the closing match, celebrating the bridging of differences and referenced the world coming together through poetry and music.
According to report, more than three million fans attended World cup matches in Qatar with more than 800 footballers from 32 teams.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States.
