Morgan Freeman delivers speech during World Cup opening ceremony

 

 

Famous American actor, director, and narrator Morgan Freeman played an important role in the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup, which was highly moving.

Freeman gave a spine-tingling speech with Ghanim al Muftah, an entrepreneur from Qatar who was born with Caudal Regression Syndrome, a condition that prevents growth and impairs spine development.

The two discussed how the globe may be brought together by football and its most prestigious competition.

 

They discussed togetherness, tolerance, and understanding.

They also gave a stirring, inspiring statement that, ideally, will do much to promote peace from and between all the participating countries in the tournament, despite the lingering problems that will undoubtedly continue to surround the events of Qatar hosting the World Cup.

 

“I heard something beautiful. Not just music, but also this call to celebration,” declared Freeman.

“Football united nations and their love for the beautiful game. What brings together nations also brings together communities.

“Now, the world feels even more distant and divided. How can so many countries, languages and cultures come together, if only one way is accepted?”

Al Muftah responded: “We were raised to believe that we were scattered on this earth as nations, as tribes, so we could learn from each other and find beauty in the differences.”

 

“I can see it, for what unites us here in this moment is so much greater than what divides us,” Freeman said. “How can we make it last for more than just today?”

Al Muftah answered: “With tolerance and respect, we can live together under one big home. When we call you here, we welcome you into our home.”

“So, we gather here as one big tribe, and Earth is the tent we all live in,” Freeman concluded.

Before Al Muftah rounded off the speech with an invitation to the world: “Yes, and together we can send out the call for all the world to join us.”
