We are only 200 days away from the opening match and we invite everyone in Qatar to seize the opportunity to appreciate the Original Trophy up close, before its amazing journey around the world begins." A host of special guests and football personalities will be present at all the public events meaning extra excitement for the many fans who are sure to turn out.
