He is considered one of the game’s most versatile players and a prolific goal scorer and renowned playmaker. He is one of only three players to score over 100 goals.

The Journey Tour also allows you to learn more about fascinating Qatar and the FIFA World Cup™, and to meet Sama – the world’s first metahuman cabin crew.

A Qatar Airways-branded bus will be on static display in several cities all across Europe, inviting fans to pass by and immerse themselves in World Cup fever.

Australia will get its own version of The Journey Tour later this year, with details to be announced very shortly.
