The Trophy Tour of the 2021 Arab World Cup, which will be hosted by Qatar from November 30 to December 18, kicked off in six of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ stadiums.

The design of the Arab World Cup comes to celebrate football, which occupies wide fame throughout the Arab world, from the ocean to the Gulf. The design of the cup embodies Arab culture and some of its symbols and connotations, in which the ball at the top of the cup symbolizes the championship and the importance of football in the Arab world, and the map of the Arab world is prominently engraved on the ball to distinguish it from the rest of the world, in reference to the championship of the Arab teams.

The tournament logo includes Arabic letters of the word “Mawtani” carved in an artistic way on the bottom of the cup, in reference to the arts of Arabic calligraphy and Arab solidarity and unity. The lower and upper parts of the Kufic cup or the ghutra, which men of the Arab region are famous for wearing, and the ripples of this keffiyeh mimic the trade routes that the Arabs used in the past in search of livelihood.
