The opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should be a big show. But the international stars avoid the event.
Morgan Freeman hosted the opening show of the World Cup. Various international artists before him canceled.
The turf at Al Bayt Stadium is really on fire. Dramatic scenes take place on this lawn even before the first game of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has started. Opening ceremonies at major sporting events are always characterized by gigantism. Eight years ago, Brazil offered a mix of fight dance and the tin can sound of Jennifer Lopez. And in 2018, Vladimir Putin flew in Robbie Williams. When it comes to megalomania, Qatar is no exception. There is dancing – to a medley of fan chants from all over the world and past World Cup songs. In between, the actor Morgan Freeman speaks, never tiring of repeating the word “tolerance”.
