Arab Fans and The
World Cup: Who Do They Cheer for?
Arabs do love football
and feel enthusiastic about every detail in the World Cup. This year the
excitement is doubled for welcoming the tournamentson the land of Qatar and
trying the experience of live watching the actions from the heart of Qatar
stadiums-for it is the best way to enjoy football matches. Knowing that it is
expected that 75%of the World Cup Attendee will be Arab fans and specifically
Arabian Gulf people because of the close distances between countries.
Moreover, Qatar had
guaranteed its qualification for being the host of World Cup 2022 then Morocco,
Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia joined the tournament after giving a good show in the
qualifications stage . Yet many will miss Muhammad Salah’s national team “Egypt”
due to the elimination by Senegal on penalties. As well as RiyadMahrez's
national team “Algeria” after FIFA rejected their desperate bid to have their
world cup play with Cameroon replayed.
After the draw, this
is how the Arab teams were distributed in these 4 different groups;
Ø Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherland
Ø Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland
Ø Group D: France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia
Ø Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia
Morocco's group is the toughest as it will face Belgium – rated first by FIFA – after facing the finalist in WC 2018 Croatia.
However,Saudi Arabia's journey through the group stage won’t be that smooth as it will be facing Messi’s team“Argentina” and Lewandowski’s team“Poland”.
On the other side Tunisiais expecting a special opponent in its third game in the group stage – the 2018 World Cup Winner –France.
