At the Qatar @roadto2022 Exhibition - currently being held at JK Iguatemi Mall in Sao Paulo, Brazil - a set of crowdsourced photographs highlight Qatar’s passion for football and the strong grassroot football culture in the next FIFA World Cup host nation.
The photographs are the result of a collaboration between the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), the organisation responsible for delivering the infrastructure and legacy programmes for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and UK-based Goal Click.

Participants in the project, including those working to deliver the FIFA World Cup, community leaders, photographers, football fans and others, were each given a single disposable camera which offered just 27 chances to take the perfect picture. The brief for each photographer was simple: capture football in Qatar as you see it.

And the results – glorious in their imperfections – are a reminder of what football means to the people of Qatar and how it helps to unite one of the most diverse countries in the world.
