David Beckham, Qatar's Sports Ambassador
In early October, the famous former soccer player spent a week in Qatar, during which time he saw the stage of preparations for the World Cup. He visited several stadiums under construction and inquired about the status of the works.
During his visit, Beckham - nicknamed the "Goldenballs" - also met with officials to finalize some details before the final tournament, which will begin in November next year.
The football icon has had links with the Qataris since he played for Paris St-Germain.
According to The Sun, the owner of the American football club Inter Miami consulted with his wife Victoria Beckham (age 47) before signing the mega-deal with the Arabs. Alongside sports, Beckham will also promote tourism and culture.
Big human rights problems in Qatar
The new Sports Ambassador in Qatar has to repair a very bad image created by the organizers after many workers died on the construction sites of the stadiums where the World Cup matches will take place.
The truth is the country has faced huge controversy over its human rights record.
"David has always talked about the power of football as a force for good on many levels. As we reach the one year-to-go point he will join the wider football community that is coming together for the World Cup 2022 and he’s looking forward to what he thinks will be a great tournament," said a spokeswoman for David Beckham.
