Qatar Airways Launches One Year to Go Campaign, Reuniting Legends Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026

Qatar Airways Unites Legends for World Cup 2026 Countdown

Qatar Airways, the official airline of the FIFA World Cup 2026, is marking the one-year countdown with a special video campaign. This campaign takes fans on a journey as the FIFA World Cup Winner’s Trophy is flown from Lusail, Qatar, to New York. The video features football legends Roberto Baggio and Romário.

The campaign showcases Qatar Airways cabin crew on a mission to transport the Winner’s Trophy to the United States. They will hand-deliver football’s most prestigious prize to Roberto Baggio and Romário, who famously competed in the final of the FIFA World Cup in the U.S. in 1994. The aim of the campaign is to capture the excitement and heritage of what is regarded as one of the greatest tournaments in World Cup history.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: “Four years ago in Qatar, we embarked on a journey to unite the world through the power of football. Today we embark on the same journey, but with our sights now set on Canada, Mexico and the United States, in what promises to be a spectacular FIFA World Cup 2026™. From delivering all-inclusive travel packages, to curated fan experiences, we are on a mission to make dreams come true – utilising our global network to fly fans, officials and teams to this historical event.”
