To the parade of voters, presidents, leaders, organizers, local personalities and other federative retinues was added a brilliant collection of stars that provide a good account of Qatar’s interest in marking territory from the draw, a technique that became a declaration of intent. Legends such as Casillas, Agüero, Forlán, Seedorf, Mascherano, Matthäus, Cafú, Yaya Touré, Kaka, Wenger, Zanetti, Pirlo, Materazzi o Del Piero (surprising representation of the Italians) did not miss the appointment.

Giani Infantino and the Emir of Qatar, Tamin bin Hamad Al Thaniteamed up as masters of ceremonies on a gala with all the typical elements of these days: a Hollywood red carpet with preliminaries, a long round of presentations (the official mascot and song are not yet known) and the common speeches calling for unity and peace before entering the matter in a draw with no group death and where, with three repechages to go, not all contenders are still present.
“Our world is divided, it is aggressive, these occasions serve for people to come together to celebrate. The request made by the football community is, to all the authorities in the world, to stop the war “We want this World Cup to be the World Cup for peace”, the FIFA president confirmed, ignoring reports from organizations such as Ainternational amnesty o Human Rights Watch denounces the Qatari regime’s violation of some of the most basic human rights.
