The Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is planning to attend the opening ceremony of the House of Qatar at the World Cup, which will take place in Moscow on Friday, a source told Sputnik on Monday.
“The House of Qatar in Moscow will open tomorrow, but the official ceremony will take place on July 7. The opening of the House of Qatar in Moscow will be a big event, because the flag will be passed on from Russia to Qatar in the presence of Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and many other high-ranking Qatari officials,” the source said.
In the House of Qatar, Russian and foreign citizens in Moscow will have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with traditions and the culture of the country, as well as finding out how Qatar is preparing to host the World Cup.
Qatar was chosen as the 2022 World Cup host country, while the 2026 tournament will be held in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
