FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 emblem launch set to be streamed live in Mumbai
The metropolis is the only Indian city where the the event will be streamed live.
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which is going to be the historic first-ever FIFA World Cup hosted by any of the middle eastern gulf countries, will set a major footprint in India on Tuesday (September 3, 2019) as the World Cup emblem launch will be streamed live on a giant screen at Babulnath Mandir junction in South Mumbai simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Mumbai is the only Indian city alongside fourteen other cities in the non-Arabic world where the event will be streamed live. The event is scheduled to take place at 2252 hrs. IST (2022 hrs Qatar local time) on Tuesday (September 3, 2019).
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy of Qatar, which is the local organising committee of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has taken up the initiative to generate more interest amongst the Indians for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup which is, incidentally, going to be the second edition of the quadrennial flagship tournament hosted by an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member association, which is India also an integral part of.
Middle-east has always been a favourable destination for the Indians and the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy wants to tap in them to make the event a grand success. Indian nationals residing elsewhere in the world can avail visa-on-arrival in Qatar during the football extravaganza to ease the entire travel process.
Nevertheless, geographically, Qatar 2022 is touted to lure more football-frenzy Indians to taste the in-stadia experience as the distance of Qatar, compared to the previous host nations, from any part of India will be minimal. Not less than 25% of entire Qatar's population hail from India and the LOC has been quite positive to exploit the football-fanaticism of them as well.

On the other hand, the forthcoming edition of the FIFA World Cup will be most compact in terms of travelling distance. The eight stadiums which will host the matches are situated within a 50-kilometre radius circle which provides the supporters with an opportunity to watch multiple matches in a day during the round-robin stage of the tournament.
