Doha (Qatar), Nov. 21, GNA – FIFA, together with three United Nations agencies, will run a range of campaigns during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ to send messages promoting health, unity, and non-discrimination to the billions of worldwide viewers across multiple channels.
These campaigns have considered feedback received from our member associations who, like FIFA, are committed to using the power of football to effect positive change around the world.
Each round of matches would be associated with its own dedicated campaign designed to maximise reach and impact.
These would be run together with FIFA’s partner agencies from the United Nations, including the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Messaging opportunities would be provided to the participating teams via the team captains’ armbands during matches, with supporting content being displayed on LED screens around the pitch, on giant screens and on flags in the stadiums, together with additional amplification on FIFA’s digital platforms and through media, stakeholders, and other public activities.
The campaigns are as follows:
Group stage, round one: #FootballUnitesTheWorld
Group stage, round two: #SaveThePlanet
Group stage, round three: #ProtectChildren #ShareTheMeal
Round of 16: #EducationForAll #FootballForSchools
Quarter-finals: #NoDiscrimination
Semi-finals: #BeActive #BringTheMoves
Third-place and Final: Football Is Joy, Passion, Hope, Love and Peace – #FootballUnitesTheWorld
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ kicks off on Sunday, 20 November, which the host nation takes on Ecuador at Al Bayt Stadium.
In total, 64 matches would be played with Lusail Stadium hosting the final on Sunday 18 December 2022.
By uniting behind these campaigns, FIFA and its 211 member associations would showcase to every corner of the world that, despite our differences, football has the power as a global force to bring people together for the common good.
