The traditional opening ceremony of every World Cup is shrouded in uncertainty in Qatar 2022, given the refusal of several top performers to take part and the expectation to see the World Cup ball rolling for the first time in the Middle East. From 11:30 (Argentina time), TV Pública and Directv Sports are broadcast on television.
The gates of the Al Bayt stadium, whose design represents the traditional Bedouin tent, in the town of Al Khor, located 35 kilometers north of Doha, opened four hours before the start of the match.
The local Supreme Organizing Committee and FIFA confirmed late Saturday evening that the “dazzling” ceremony will be in charge Jung Kookone of the members of the South Korean pop band BTS.
The event will be hosted by the FIFA World Cup Ambassador, Ghanim Al Muftah -a local popular figure-, and the Qatari singer Dan.
