Katara Postal Stamp Exhibition Pays Tribute to International Football Tournaments

Doha, January 17 (QNA) - The Arab Postal Stamp Museum in Katara is holding an exhibition on stamps relevant to the sporting championships. The event is within Katara events accompanying the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 and will run until Feb. 10.
   Director of the Museum Amira Ahmed Al Mohannadi pointed out that the exhibition combines a massive collection and a cornucopia of postal stamps that document multiple previous editions of the football world cup tournaments held in numerous countries such as Mexico in 1986, United States 1994, Spain 1982, Japan and Korea 2002, France 1998, and Italy 1990, in addition to postal stamps that carry the photos of Arab and Gulf teams.
   The exhibition offers a special section dedicated to publications related to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament, along with photos of sports stadiums that hosted the competitions, in addition to rare postal stamps that patently document a variety of sporting events such as the Gulf football and Olympiad championships.
   In addition, the artists were determined to have a vibrant presence within Katara events accompanying the world cup, where a contingent of artists participate with live paintings showcased to the public, among them the Artist Nasser Al Mannai who affirmed that he is delighted to participate in Katara events, adding that this was not his first participation, because he had already participated in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament and horse festival.
   The participation nurtures the artists experience, as painting is a unique and stellar experience in front of the public in one venue which reduces spaces among them and introduces artworks, he said. 
   The public at Katara continue attending the Qatari Ardha shows, along with military shows and the Omani popular band. (QNA)
