As the world descends into Qatar for the World's Greatest sports event - The World Cup - it is fitting to review some of the Qatar's Football achievements.
Football began in Qatar with the arrivals of foreigners due to the discovery of oil. By 1950's the first football team - Al Ahli - was founded. It was the winner of the Amir's cup in 1973 for which it had the great honour of hosting the Brazilian team Santos - click on the below image to learn more.

The moment was so unique that it deserves to be complemented by a video of the event (see below).
Below is the a new stamp issue for Qatar. These stamps celebrate a few important milestones in Qatar's National Team. The image below also lists a few more honourable moments of Qatar's Football achievements over the years. This issue is made up of the four stamps shown. It is sold in a souvenir sheet containing all four stamps, there is also a FDC and a presentation folder.

Perhaps you have noticed the common theme in both of my previous slides - 'Now is All'. This same theme can be seen throughout Qatar in banners, posters, image projections and so on. It probably originates from the speech given at the FIFA headquarters back in 2010 when Qatar was making its final bid to host the World Cup 2022. Click on the below slide to learn more about it.
