French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday evening praised Qatar’s efforts to make the soccer World Cup a success, saying it “can count on our support.”
This came in a series of tweets he posted in Arabic via his Twitter account, following the French national team qualified for the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup.
Macron said, “In a world facing a series of crises, it is our duty to preserve the spirit of sports, as it is a space for the rapprochement of peoples around universal values.”
He added, “The FIFA World Cup is being held for the first time in the Arab region, and is witnessing tangible changes. The State of Qatar has made remarkable efforts to make the event a success and continues to do so, and it can count on our support.”
And he went on to say: “The color of the world dances for joy following every goal you score. So, let’s dance for joy together! Once once more, “Come on, Blue!”
Today, Saturday, the French national team defeated its Danish counterpart, with two goals to one, and secured its qualification for the round of 16 of the World Cup competitions in Qatar.
