Qatar Airways launches FIFA World Cup campaign to unite football fans

QATAR/INTERNATIONAL. FIFA’s Official Airline Partner Qatar Airways is celebrating the ‘universal language of football’ by connecting global fans through music and innovation ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Initiatives include a new TV commercial that celebrates the ‘unforgettable journeys’ leading up to football’s biggest tournament. It features the world-famous We Will Rock You anthem by Queen which is commonly sung in football stadiums around the world.

Qatar Airways said the uplifting anthem reflects its belief that sport is a universal language which unites fans and transcends verbal barriers.

They can also learn more about the history of Qatar and the FIFA World Cup, and meet Sama – the first-ever MetaHuman cabin crew. Fans visiting the Qatar Airways-branded bus can enter for a chance to win match tickets and all-inclusive travel packages to the tournament by sharing their experience on social media using the #FlytoQatar2022 hashtag.
