The official emblem of FIFA World Cup 2022 was launched
The official emblem of FIFA
World Cup 2022 was launched on Tuesday evening in Doha.
The emblem encapsulates the
Arabian spirit and deep-rooted heritage of Qatar. Football unites everyone in
Qatar irrespective of background and nationality. Myriad cultures are strung
together by the passion for football. The emblem reflects the story of a nation
that has risen from the ground up and is still rising.
The swooping curves of the
emblem represent the undulations of desert dunes and the unbroken loop depicts
both the number eight – a reminder of the eight astonishing stadiums that will
host matches – and the infinity symbol, reflecting the interconnected nature of
the event.
Qatar 2022 is touted to lure
more football-frenzy Indians to taste the in-stadia experience as the distance
of Qatar, compared to the previous host nations, from any part of India will be
minimal. Not less than 25 per cent of entire Qatar's population hail from India
and the LOC has been quite positive about their football-fanaticism as well.
Along with many firsts in
the FIFA World Cup history, this edition will be scheduled between November 21,
2022, and December 18, 2022, instead of the conventional International FIFA
window during June-July.
On the other hand, the
forthcoming edition of the FIFA World Cup will be most compact in terms of
travelling distance. The eight stadiums which will host the matches are
situated within a 50-kilometre radius which provides the supporters with an
opportunity to watch multiple matches in a day during the round-robin stage of
the tournament.
