well just look at the driver, escandone, or the outrage over walker's rights part of human rights issues. but despite all the course for a boycott, that biggest sporting events of all is still happening. but is that a bad thing or are we overlooking the good? this world cup will make 450000000 arabs, proud not just the 300000 categories. so let me tell you what football really means to them, and why ubs deserve this. what's called a test lab. it's gonna come in with an officer id love for caught up in a lab with the forgot alicia on those with him. and then also blah, blah, blah, blah, cause in the market i used in my home lamphier to football is the central part of life. i grew up here in damascus next to the biggest football stadium in the

capitol, which is not in use anymore. this stadium was moon during the war in studio fans used to fit this place like so many other stadiums and they out of board a funds have a great passion for football, not only for local football clubs, but put a range of international leaks and teams. i personally grew up watching the italian league with my cousins who passed their last you rentals all to me from when i was a kid. why it was you ventless for me, for others is 30 on the breed liverpool all by on the one on the love with a family. oh, because i'm ago i'm on for a long month going through the i'll sub lina and then i ask the leather ammonia how long it, because i'm not a minute on the amount of detail. but like, you know, i had my level of job up other shoe at the end of the month,

the hub in teams. and i'm still in with my controls. did it to people ask me when i thought of a sudden that was really no on my was stuff up a that even if they're already in the shower head of the other, she with her seat no found it and was out of it. so imagine how walk up either when hit everyone there was massive flag and car parade to celebrate their favorite theme winning book. what is the main source of happiness for many people to get a lot of the lay up in the deal and with the joe was with you bob a lot and we should get out of the head we valuable man, but he will give you a lot of the model, hamilton them into the we know to organize the top 22 feet volt cup. i still remember that they said not announced that got our one the bet. ah, it made me happy because it's,

well that's feet i gave it to the airport and not just one company. you might be surprised that football was brought to many arab countries more than 130 years ago . that's why it's time to have the work up in an art country. do you know how big this part of the world is? how many pounds, what one has simply ignored that are 22 are countries located in africa and asia before world war one, the ultimate and pile control a large part of out of force. and after the war, britain and france shared the mandate, other arab countries. if this had any benefit, it was an expanding football in that region. first in north africa, he can say that north africa has been waiting the longest for this airport cops. that is still debate over, which is the oldest football club there. but according to records, the constantine youth club in algeria was the 1st establish in 1898,

followed by sick that had in egypt in 19 or 3, then olympic club, alley, and as american egypt was also the 1st out of country to play at the word copy in 1934. moreover, antonucci, i have appeared at 5 previous tournaments. algeria has qualified 4 times, even beats in west germany in 1982. while egypt has also played at 3 wards cups. it seems that these nations profited from being on the right continent. alyssa were, has a new, a particular again on the wall, telling me not warrant a series of those countries have even bit to hold. the woke up morocco tried 4 times, most recently for 2026. and mohammad they dont could have played at home if egypt had one that had 2010 bids, blew a for to see a see a level of booking. you put your phone bill will start and will have those charges

with these football mad north africans have so far been denied their own woke up. they too are looking at katara as their tournament. other parts of the art of war deserve this tournament to ease their pain and for sticking with football through thick and thin from africa to the middle east. this part of the word suffered and still suffers for more and the economic and political crisis that came after that one 1st arrived through a missionary school seems where formed at schools and universities like crowded amada, and palestine, and the american university in booth in 19 o 8, early independent clubs where commencement and bailed in 1924 and better that in damascus. in 1926. however, the very 1st in the region was estee lauder club in yemen. in 19 o 5,

you could say that these countries were promised a better life, but politics destroyed the whole region. little war and civil war sports facilities were ruined, but nothing could stop people's local football. in 1986, iraq made it to the wolf cup despite it's more with iran a a kiss. how does a jewish we'll can she, those war torn countries still play football every single day. whether in a proper stadium or in the little garden, with all, without that explicitly having the worst company got out, we'll make them there to dream. again. a callback mean cha, life or with william?

i don't know. i said i love that was over. so what was the only on about the about football where the welcome to probably for the will then i'll be, you know, like i said, i love the to fully on the know. so i did with a might be looking to move for people to get a lot of this is where civilization of thought to thousands of years ago. but this was cancelled and history won't give you the worth cup. even if you're calling for the word once. when it comes, the whole thing, the wars cost, money and smart relations are keep nuts where the wealthy gulf countries come in, cut our. so what really matters defer until that chance in that sense, at least it deserves a 3rd a month. the oldest football club in saudi arabia is i live up established in 1916 followed by ality had in 1927. was the 1st club in petard while annie in

1950. the club hosted place santos in 1973 coin was the 1st among the gulf states to make it to the was cut in 1982 followed by u e. e. in 1990 the country that will host a lot of guitar, 22 visitors. ah, i think with the high oh and don't leave with a finished finished with a sub for the got a coupon in with a saudi arabia which came up with the idea of the confederations cup in 1992 was the only goes state to make it to recent worth got qualifying 6 times since

1994, including this year live with the cover of the love says with the thought for a leave of this all the dominance lasted until we got our became there, which is out of country and the 4th richest world wide paired capital before that this small country was the poorest and the region. it depended on fishing until all and then naturally gaz where discovered that ours ambitions grew bigger than its size. having get huge resources, helped at aim high economy and political stability were also a privilege that luck all our of countries. how and despite the diplomatic crisis between cotton and its neighboring countries, nothing could stop this work up from happening

but to will our ups actually be able to go to, they woke up. nobody out ups need the visa to visit other arab countries cut our makes it easier, but only if you have much to get out of host. of course, not all arabs would be able to attend this worth cup as it will be too expensive for many who have far from guitar. but it's, that's really the point i came up with and i here we go next and i'm her mother idea. i called her hello, hello, hello. this world cup will expand the game to reach everyone in the outer board. men and women boys and girls. football can help societies develop in a positive sense, like into done this with theda heavy. so i need to have them off as a kid for it because it is on the level that was at madison for the incident with

this young guy. but it's erica zaden and see what's more the world cup will bring people and cultures together. so those who will visit gutter as their 1st experience, often our country will have that chance to not only tried the good food there, but to see what at ups are really like. and maybe forget to few stereotypes. so let's consider this award call for all arabs, because even people who won't be in cotton, whitfield footballs. biggest tournaments, closer to them than ever. 8080 years after the 1st world cup, it's now the upward student to host the tournament. like old african americans, europeans, latinos, an agency, they deserve this honor. and if god had not been given this, what's called the out up ward would have had to keep dreaming. for a long time to come with
