Tunisian fans look forward to football, fun and festivals
Adel Larbi is excited about attending the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with family and friends. “We are here to encourage the Tunisian squad as well as the Qatar national team and other Arab teams,” Larbi said. “I would like to congratulate Qatar for the wonderful organisation, and call on Tunisian and Arab fans to be the best ambassadors of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.”
He told Gulf Times that he was also in Qatar during the FIFA Arab Cup 2021.
“The Arab Cup was an impressive tournament. I enjoyed every minute of it with my wife and friends,” Larbi said.
“We are dedicated football fans though I am a veteran basketball player from l’Etoile Sportive du Sahel, from the coastal town of Sousse in Tunisia, with a scenic corniche and sandy beaches reminiscent of the Doha Corniche and its state-of-the-art old port,” he continued.
“Coming back to Doha feels like home, and I am very pleased with the hosting and the organisation of the World Cup by Qatar, which represents 450mn Arabs through this edition of the World Cup,” Larbi said.
“All the procedures are seamless – from booking our tickets to arrival at Hamad International Airport and getting our Hayya cards, to travelling around Doha and its suburbs,” he added.
“We find Qatar very welcoming to visitors, we are revisiting Doha not only for football, but are also looking forward to enjoy cultural and musical events and fan festivals,” he said. “Not to forget visiting Souq Waqif, Katara, museums, Lusail, trendy restaurants and other places.”
