Tunis: Minister of Youth and Sports of Tunisia H E Kamal Dakich has praised excellent organisation by Qatar of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 as well as the amazing and unique stadiums for the event.
In exclusive remarks to QNA, he said: “I want to congratulate the State of Qatar on its success in organising the World Cup. This organisation was highly distinct and at all levels.” The Tunisian Youth and Sports Minister highlighted the uniqueness of the World Cup in relation to the proximity of the stadiums, a matter which enables fans to watch more than one match in a day, a feature which was not available at previous World Cups.
A second important point is that Qatar has broken the psychological barrier and succeeded in being the first Arab country to successfully organise the World Cup, and this is a source of pride for all Arabs, he said. The Tunisian Minister said this World Cup has another very important advantage, which is the preservation of the cultural specificities and identity of Qatar as well as the Arab-Islamic specificities in general, and it is to the credit of Qatar.
On the chances of the Tunisian team as well as the Arab and African teams in the World Cup, Dakich said the Tunisian team awaits a fateful match tomorrow against World Champions France. It is a difficult match, but it will not be impossible for Tunisia because of the victorious spirit the team enjoy, he added.
Regarding Arab teams, he said there are chances for Saudi and Moroccan teams but for Qatar’s team, who lost two matches, have to overcome that and play their final match in group stage with a spirit of victory.
