Qatar FIFA 2022 World Cup Poster Stamp

The latest of the FIFA Cup series of stamps issued by Qatar Post shows the official World Cup poster. It clearly shows the feeling of Qatari's in the joy and pride of hosting the world cup, which is a celebration of not only football but also of strong community, cultural, credence and racial integration world wide. Clearly showing Qatar's multicultural and 'melting pot' society.

I'm looking forward to the start of this celebration, in the mean time please click on the image below to learn more on the stamp.
