A fan gives Akram Afif a camel to celebrate the World Cup

Hadi Al-Anan Al-Marri, a well-known Qatari fan, presented a symbolic gift in the form of a camel to Qatari national team star Akram Afif, celebrating the team's qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Al-Marri said that the qualification was the result of capitalizing on a historic opportunity with professionalism, emphasizing that the achievement is not just a sporting goal, but rather reflects Qatar's enduring presence on the global football scene after hosting the 2022 World Cup. It also demonstrates the planning and continuous work upon which Qatari football ambitions are built. The fan added, "Our confidence in the national team players has always been great, and they were able to face the challenges despite the fierce competition from the UAE team. They achieved our long-awaited dream and brought joy to the hearts of the fans." It is worth noting that Al-Marri previously presented a camel to national team star Akram Afif after the Qatari national team won the 2023 Asian Cup, a gesture that reflects the great support for the technical staff and players from the Qatari fans.
