A photo of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, during the Annabi national team’s match against Senegal at the 2022 World Cup caused a wide resonance on social networks.
Yesterday, on Friday, in the matches of the second round of the group stage, the Senegal team beat the Qatar team with a score of 3:1.
The Qatari team did not perform as expected, which caused great disappointment and sadness among the Qataris.
Internet activists circulated an impressive image of the Emir of Qatar during the match, expressing their sadness over their country’s performance and bidding farewell to the tournament held at home.
Qatar has officially lost the chance to qualify and become the first country to say goodbye to the World Cup.
Qatar also became the second World Cup host country to qualify from the group stage in World Cup history, after South Africa in 2010.
Qatar will play their last World Cup match against the Netherlands next Tuesday.
