2022 Qatar World Cup Official Music Collection

The opening ceremony of the Qatar 2022 World Cup was held yesterday, November 20, at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar. FIFA has a reputation for hosting events featuring famous singers and entertainers, although this year the event has been the subject of controversy.

Given the surprising refusal of Shakira and Dua Lipa to perform at the opening of the event organized by FIFA, two world-class artists participated in the opening. 

The inaugural show of the World Cup was attended by the actor Morgan Freeman, from Jungkook, —singer of the BTS group—, and an extensive choreography that recalled the history of Qatar and also the past mascots and songs of the previous Cups of the world.
