Qatar’s traditions draw on a nomadic past and practices that are centuries old, from hand-woven products to falconry. However, the country’s population is urban and coastal, its daily life is thoroughly modern, and its rulers have sought to enhance civil liberties. The press is among the freest in the region, and though they are religious and traditional, Qataris pride themselves on their tolerance for the cultures and beliefs of others. On the status of the country’s large expatriate community, the ruling emir has noted that “in Qatar, they find security and a dignified livelihood.”

The Emblem for the Qatar World Cup game had been out and bear resemblance to the shawl worn by people during the winter season. This is to symbolize the unifying force both the everyday fabric and football, which has been around for many years, have on people’s lives. The typeface is written in Arabic calligraphy and integrates elements of kasheeda – a lengthening cursive script that enhances the flow and grace of the writing.
The venues, some completed and some still under construction are all built to embody a different time in the future, but with no compromise to the traditional design and values that the community of Qatar holds close.
Qatar seeks to use this opportunity to share its unique identity with the world and in the process, open up to new experiences. The country is hoping to become a global hub and with its compact nature, connect countries, communities, and peoples minds all made possible by the powerful game called football.
