In a Spectacular opening ceremony for the Qatar World Cup, Morgan Freeman and BTS's Jung Kook dazzled.
In a magnificent opening ceremony for the FIFA World Cup 2022 at the Al Bayt Stadium in this city on Sunday, South Korean singer BTS' Jung Kook and one of Hollywood's most well-known actors, Morgan Freeman, stole the show.American actor Morgan Freeman was one of the non-musical performers. The 85-year-old gave a statement about the "emotions that unite us all now" while live-narrating the event. It lasted for around 20 minutes and had viewers transfixed to their TVs all across the world.
Football unifies nations, according to a legendary American actor. "Nations all across the world share a passion of football, which unifies people. What unites people from different countries and communities, "Freeman stated.
Everyone is welcome, said Ghanim Al-Muftah, a disability rights campaigner from Qatar who was born with the uncommon Caudal Regression Syndrome. He appeared beside Freeman.
Numerous dancers participated in the performance, which also included a big La'eeb, the team's mascot, floating about the stadium. La'eeb, which first appeared in comics in the late 1940s, is an Arabic word that means "super-skilled player."
He assured the 60,000-person gathering that people of various colors, nations, religions, and orientations will assemble in Qatar and around televisions on every continent to share the same thrilling moments.
"We shall follow the big football festival with the whole globe, God willing, in this open place for human and civilized dialogue," he continued, as Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and FIFA President Gianni Infantino looked on. The grandiose ceremony and the commencement of the game are expected to calm the tempest that has erupted over Qatar's World Cup preparations, according to the royal family and FIFA officials.
In front of cheering supporters, Marcel Desailly, France's 1998 World Cup champion, presented the trophy before fireworks lit up the night sky.
