Doha: FIFA President Gianni Infantino has praised Qatar’s infrastructure progress and described the 2022 FIFA World Cup as a unique opportunity for football fans to experience a new culture and region during a whistle-stop tour of the country.
Infantino visited Al Wakrah Stadium before taking a helicopter ride to view the other seven proposed tournament venues, along with several training sites on Tuesday.
He arrived in Al Wakrah after becoming one of the first people to travel on the new Doha Metro, which will open to the public by the end of the year, and then traveled from Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), in West Bay, to Al Wakrah, a journey south which took approximately 20 minutes.
