"I look forward to visiting Qatar when it fulfills its human rights promises"
Dua Lipa would certainly have liked to ignite the opening ceremony of the World Cup, if the competition did not take place in Qatar.
She explains that she "will visit Qatar when it has fulfilled all the promises it made in terms of human rights, when it won the organization of the World Cup".
So who will perform at Al-Bayt stadium?
No name has been officially announced.
We just know that the singer Jungkook of the K-pop group BTS will be present at the opening ceremony, before the first match between Qatar and Ecuador.
Some rumors suggest that Shakira will be present, as well as the group Black Eyed Peas.
End of suspense in a few days...
