The no-expense-spared opening ceremony was laid on for those in the stadium and everyone else watching around the globe. The ceremony was also in line with the opening match of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

With just under 90 minutes until the opening match of the tournament, Hollywood legend Morgan Freeman took the center stage with Qatari Youtuber Ghanim Al Muftah to send a heartfelt message narrating a video about football’s ability to unite.
The Oscar-winning actor narrated the opening segment titled ‘The Calling’ and said ‘We all gather here in one big tribe’. “Football spans the world, unites nations in their love of the beautiful game. What brings together nations, brings together communities,” Freeman announced. “There is a common thread of hope, jubilation and respect.” In light of this, some fans of the Oscar-Winning actor took to social media to praise him for his touching message.
