'Welcome to celebrate football because football unites the world': Qatar kicks off 2022 World Cup with a message of inclusion
— Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman extended one yellow-gloved hand to a FIFA World Cup ambassador suffering from a rare spinal disorder in an image meant to represent inclusion in a country facing international criticism over its human rights record.
"How beautiful it is for people to put aside what divides them in order to celebrate their diversity and what brings them together at the same time," Sheikh Tamim said, his words translated into English on a video screen inside the stadium. The opening ceremony was meant to introduce Qatar to the world through its culture with a theme of"bridging distances." Creative director Ahmad Al Baker wanted the ceremony to signify"a gathering for all mankind, an invitation to come together as one, bridging all differences with humanity, respect and inclusion."
