World Cup a great success for Qatar, says Ex-Arsenal vice-chairman Dein

Former Arsenal chief David Dein has said Qatar 2022 has been a big success.

Dein will have been to 58 of the 64 World Cup matches by the end of the tournament.

He said: “Qatar have won a lot of friends because of this World Cup and the way it has been handled.

“If you ask the fans and you ask the players have they enjoyed it, yes they have. And we have to ask ourselves, what is football without fans?

“This has been a unique experience.

“I am hoping it will change the Qataris, too. Qatar will benefit from this going forward. I hope so. That should be a legacy for them.”
