It was necessary to wait for the emir to arrive, accompanied by Gianni Infantino, before the closing ceremony of the World Cup in Qatar started late. As with the opening, the profile of the artists performing live was low. Apart from the singers who enlivened the entire tournament with the official songs, no international star has been invited.
It was a short show, given the delay in entering the stadium by the authorities and the need to clear the stage so that the protagonists of the final could come out and warm up. Once again, a plea was made for building bridges and uniting cultures as giant balls carrying the flags of the 32 participating countries were carried across the field. Then it was time for the musical performances: Davido and Aisha, with the theme ‘Hayya, Hayya’; Ozuna and Gims, who played Arhbo; and Nora Fatehi, Balqees, Rahma Riad and Manal, who sang Light the Sky, all under a spectacular light show. The fireworks over Lusail ended the show and gave way to the footballers.
Even with the stadium at half its capacity, the ceremony had the feverish support of the thousands of Argentines who already occupied one of the stands.
