The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamada Al Thani, has declared the 2022 FIFA World Cup open.
The opening ceremony ended at the El-Bayt stadium.
In a few minutes, the Group A match between the national teams of Qatar and Ecuador will begin there.
Matches will be held at eight stadiums in Qatar, and the world championship will end on December 18.
Despite the fact that Russia was suspended from participation in international tournaments, during the opening ceremony, dolls of the mascots of all previous World Cups were carried out onto the field, including the wolf Zabivaka, the mascot of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. At the same time, Zabivaka was not previously included in the promotional video of the tournament.
