Doha, October 20 (QNA) – Nadia Nadim, a Danish footballer born in Afghanistan and FIFA World Cup Ambassador, said that fans from across the globe will arrive in the country in a months time, with many experiencing the region and its welcoming culture for the first time.
“Football belongs to everyone,” said Nadim. “Im very excited to see how the region is going to represent football, but also experience it, at the highest level.”
She went on saying: “Having this big tournament, where the entire world is convening in one place for a month, where religion, culture and races meet and celebrate through football, thats the essence of the sport. Im excited for the world to experience the Middle East and the positives of it.”
Regarding Denmark’s participation in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Nadim stressed that she will be paying close attention to Denmarks World Cup campaign, with the Danes drawn in Group D alongside France, Tunisia, and Australia.
She hopes Danish supporters savor what will be a unique tournament atmosphere in Qatar. “I think they will experience the love for the game, the passion and the differences of how football is celebrated here,” Nadim said. “I remember during the Arab Cup, watching the Algeria versus Morocco game, and I thought it was very different to anything Ive experienced in a football stadium before.
It was a different way of celebrating and showing passion, and I enjoyed it. Its also a good way to learn and expand your horizons.”
Nadim is confident that Kasper Hjulmands side have what it takes to make an impact in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 after a strong run of results that included a near-flawless qualifying campaign for Qatar 2022.
The FIFA World Cup Ambassador said: “The Danish team has had an amazing run. In the last Euros, they did so well to get to the semi-finals. They also had an amazing qualifying campaign for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, so everyone should come and support the team, its fun to watch them. Hopefully, we go far.”
