This year’s football world cup has turned into a venue to draw the attention of the world's public opinion to the Palestinian cause, which shocked the international organizers of the event as well as statemen.
Most Western organizers of the world cup had mistakenly thought that the issue of Palestine has nothing to do with sport, but the football fans in Qatar showed their support in different ways, including by flying the Palestinian flag and chanting the name of Palestine.
Experts believe that hosting the football world cup in an Islamic country is a proper opportunity for the Palestinians because the massive support for the Palestinian cause has helped make new questions on historical crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the oppressed nation.
This world cup put the oppressed people of Palestine in the center of political know-how in the world, while the Zionists tried to utilize the opportunity to find support, but their attempt was doomed to failure and their correspondents were mocked and questioned by football spectators, and some of them were asked to get out of cars or restaurants in Qatar.
Nations throughout the globe have found out the main problem of the Palestinians because the Muslim fans in the sports event showed solidarity with the oppressed people and flew the Palestinian flag as a symbol of unity among Muslims.
Even football players from teams from Arab and African countries such as Morocco hoisted the Palestinian flag during the world cup.
Ramzy Baroud, a US-Palestinian journalist, asked a group of fans of the Moroccan national team about backing emblems and slogans in favor of Palestine, and the Moroccans answered that Palestine is in their blood and love for Palestine is floating in their blood vessels.
Fans from Tunisia, Britain, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries have been filmed, when they showed their support for the Palestinians.
Analysts are of the opinion; although Palestine has never had any football team in world cups, the Palestinian nation has been supported vastly by many Muslim and non-Muslim football fans; so, the main winner of the 2022 FIFA World Cup is Palestine.
