Qatar does not deny itself anything!

The legend Samuel Eto'o plays the ambassadors.

In a year from now, this Persian Gulf emirate will host the first World Cup in the Middle East, but also the most discussed in modern history.

Its territory is limited, unlike its portfolio.

Its metamorphoses are as impressive as its contrasts and its gray areas. "Qatar 2022, the World Cup in unknown land".

A great report by Hugo Moissonnier.
