With the FIFA World Cup round the corner, the excitement level of football enthusiasts is also upping the ante. Taking these festivities to the next level, Hamad Al Amari, Qatar’s numero-uno comedian, storyteller and entrepreneur, is all set to create his magic as the Master of Ceremonies at the FIFA Fan Festival.
Passionate about developing innovative ideas that disrupt the status quo and shift paradigms in society, whether through his business endeavours or his comedy shows, Hamad Al Amari has carved a niche for himself in the corporate world.
With his impeccable ability to speak in different accents, Hamad is the perfect choice for the event. During his comic performances, he has already won the hearts of people of varied cultural diversities, in Qatar, the GCC and the region. An ace content producer, Hamad is an inspiration for not only Qatari youths, but has also been revered by global youth community as well.
The entrepreneur par excellence has been featured in many global publications, collaborated with many international artists, and performed alongside some of the biggest names in comedy as the resident comedian at the Doha Comedy Festival.
On his part, Hamad Al Amari stated, “I am thrilled to be a part of Qatar’s biggest sports festival, which will showcase to the world our capability to host events of such a stature in the most organized and spectacular fashion. The FIFA Fan Festival is the heart of the tournament, and it’s my privilege to be a part of such a magnum opus tournament, which the world has been waiting with bated breath. Football is where I felt accepted for the first time in my life. Liverpool FC is my family. Spending time at the tournament with fans from around the world is an incredible opportunity to showcase Qatar’s culture and traditions, along with our sense of fun and humour.”
“We are confident that the FIFA Fan Festival will provide fans with an unforgettable experience. They will unite at Al Bidda Park, with the beautiful West Bay skyline in the backdrop, to enjoy wonderful weather, great music and excellent food. It would unite fans from all over the world in a celebration of love and life through football. I’m looking forward to welcoming fans from across the world as we watch the most intense football matches the world has ever seen and enjoy a host of activities,” added Al Amari.
Recently FIFA presented a reimagined fan destination and on-site entertainment experience for fans at future FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup events called the FIFA Fan Festival. Beginning with Qatar 2022, this multidimensional, inclusive event will provide new ways for fans to celebrate their shared passion for football and experience the best in music, entertainment, local culture, food, games and lifestyle trends in a true festival environment.
For Qatar 2022, the FIFA Fan Festival will be held at one central location at Al Bidda Park in Doha over the 29 days of the tournament (20 November – 18 December 2022). It will be free to attend and is located near three Doha Metro stations: Al Corniche, Al Bidda and The White Palace. Regular shuttle buses from a host of locations will also connect fans directly to the venue.
