The session was and moderated by Asya Abdulla, a student of the journalist programme and senior presenter and commentator, beIN Sport channels.
The session revolved around four axes: the coverage of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the unfounded campaigns by a number of foreign elements against Qatar, the image that is going to be conveyed by Qatari sports channels, and the role of social media.
Al-Khanji pointed out that the volume of criticism that Qatar has been subjected to in the last 12 years since it was chosen to host the World Cup, is similar to that the other host countries also faced.
Al-Khalifi was of the view that Qatar has witnessed tremendous growth on all fronts ever since it won the World Cup bid. Shaker shared the same views with other speakers.
