A historic World Cup in every sense of the word.. In fact, we were very happy with the participation of the Canadian team in the exceptional 2022 Qatar World Cup in terms of organization and splendor, after an absence of 36 years, as much as we were happy with the participation of the Arab teams. We did not expect a better result than what we saw, but the truth is that the Canadian team was unlucky as it performed strongly in all the matches it played, which were against strong teams with great experience in stadiums and World Cup tournaments, which is many times more than the Canadian team that luck was on its side to capitalize on the efforts of its players.
Therefore, I see, like many others, that the Canadian team amazed us with its wonderful football performance, which only lacked finishing the efforts by translating goals against the opponent, but this is football, luck and success.....
Nevertheless, the Canadian team excelled and confirmed that we have creative youth in Canada who have the ability to participate permanently in international tournaments, and in my estimation, the future will bring with it much performance development and we will have international and local stars in every sense of the word who will engrave the name of Canada in stadiums all over the world, thus being the best ambassadors for their country and providing what befits its international status.
On the other hand, Qatar presented an outstanding model of amazing preparations for this global event that befits the Arab identity and this tournament, as it provided everything necessary for this World Cup to become the best tournament in its history, and it confirmed that the Arab identity has its status and potentials and can offer a lot if given the opportunity.
Qatar also confirmed that the Arab Islamic culture is a matter of pride for every Arab and Muslim, and that there are constants that cannot be compromised or accepted to be violated to please parties who know in advance that Islamic culture has foundations and constants, and that the Arab and Islamic peoples cannot overlook or accept anything that contradicts their creed, Sharia, culture, customs, and traditions alongside their respect for the requirements and cultures of others.
Therefore, Qatar was able wisely to gain the sympathy of the Arab and Islamic public and the sympathy and admiration of the majority of visitors who came to enjoy attending this international tournament.
Yes, Qatar was undoubtedly able to present a humanitarian model related to the tolerance of Islam and the rich Arab culture, and in return, it confirmed its constants as an Arab Islamic state proud of its identity and culture, and this is its right.
Yes, Qatar presented a creative model throughout the stages of the tournament and confirmed that the authentic Arab and Islamic architecture is a civilizational model, not a barbaric one, carrying with it hope for developing the human dream of living in a peaceful world free of violence and full of hope to achieve prosperity and flourishing.
Rather, there was a lesson embodied by Qatar that is useful to invest in enhancing the importance of meeting, the necessity of coexistence, and acceptance of the other provided that the culture and identity of each party are respected without harming the other's culture or imposing what cannot be accepted, thus paving the way for future generations to soar in a world of creativity, partnership, and integration for building humanity, the safety of mankind, and the elevation of the sacred human spirit.
This is in addition to the fact that the 2022 World Cup provided football surprises and special enjoyment to millions of attendees and remote viewers, although the Qatari team did not succeed in presenting a creative football model; luck betrayed it and it gave weak and poor performances that do not suit Qatar's organization of this tournament on its soil and among its audience as was hoped from it. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed the hospitality and nobility of ethics from Qatar and its people, and there was an opportunity to meet cultures, eliminate conflicts, build friendships, and open horizons for a future full of hope to build a better world free of conflicts and wars, a world based on integration and partnership, not a world based on monopolization, exclusion, and cultural fusion.
The most important lesson from this tournament is that the opportunity to create a professional football cadre is not impossible, and that the opportunity is no longer monopolized by certain teams only, but any country that cares about its youth can present a football sports model carrying with it a creative and humanitarian message that contributes to building and developing humans and raising their status and capabilities, which positively reflects on building individuals and communities and encouraging them to engage, integrate, and participate in building and development.
Also, this matter creates peaceful societies that love human creativity, which helps create a peaceful environment that paves the way for eliminating crime and building safe and creative communities.
In addition, meetings between different peoples during such tournaments build bridges of communication between different civilizations, increase awareness among people making them discover many truths about the importance of accepting others and opening dialogue between them, and get to know each other's customs and traditions through direct contact. This human communication positively reflects on people and makes them change the previously negative stereotypes in their minds, thus opening fields for dialogue, joint work, proper creative thinking, and human intellectual development instead of resorting to violence and its resulting waste of lives and resources.
Congratulations to Qatar for successfully organizing this international tournament, congratulations to Canada for its team's participation after a long absence of 36 years, and congratulations to all members of the Canadian team for their good performance and creativity in presenting the Canadian model confirming that Canada has much to offer in this field as in other fields, and the future is promising and brings much to the tournament that will be held in Canada in the next World Cup.
To this day, I wish all the best for our Canadian team, and hope this experience is a real opportunity to enhance the capabilities of our national team and the diligent work to invest in these youth by giving them the chance to be the best ambassadors for their country that they loved and loved them..... This is Canada, and this is how we hope it always will be!.
