No nude or half nude dances just simply a presentation of thier culture What a great opening ceremony Best line”wherever your tent is ;that’s what your home is “
This was and will always be the greatest intro to the World Cup ever 🙌 !! Morgan Freeman and Ghanim Al-Muftah did an outstanding job! Qatar was an incredible host!!
The dialog between Freeman and the invalid whose name I whished I knew, was very powerful. It is a message of unity voiced by two very differently looking people, representing historically marginalized minorities. I found it very moving and splendid.
00:35 sec the kid even with his condition, he won't sit until elder person (Morgan) sits first. This is the culture I was raised by. What a scene, that split of second was not pre edited, pure respect!!!
@Coat field 19 yes he played as God in Bruce Almighty, played as Alfred in The Dark Knight (Batman), etc, but he focused more on documentaries these days..
Powerful message. Visiting the Qatar 2022 World Cup was my 5th time in the Persian Gulf, and second time in Qatar. I’ve always received a warm welcome.
Stunning intro! Watched it several times already. It was the most thoughtful introduction of any World Cups. Reciting of the ayat and the beautiful translation… gave me goosebumps.
@Rivkah That was actually a captured Saudi women who tried to remove her Burqa. She is being forced to do this because Qatar has no respect for individual choice.
you mean the made up controversy and disrespect the west is showing for others culture, and dont give me that labor stuff ask the mexicans in usa how they are treated, or blacks? or migrants in europe? Just keep your fingers pointed away and respect others
@A Hab I’m Mexican and a migrant worker and the way Qatar treated those workers are legit 100x Worse, at least in the US we have ways to sue and get citizenship when we are abused at work.
I was very emotional when I listen to their powerful message, I hope the event helps and teach us to respect one another and to look after our wonderful world...
@Angi I'm focusing on how Qatar does not respect individual choice and loves discriminating against women and homosexuals'. How is that uniting the World again?
Wow, that was very deep and profound, man was split into different nations and tribes so we can get to know one another and find beauty in our differences. That touched my heart, too bad the people of the world are far removed from this.
So touching and heartbreaking. Thank you Morgan for representing the world in respecting Qatars culture and lifes meaning. Oh how we have lost our sanity so quickly. Thank you Qatar for showing us another perspective, the better one.
To whoever came with the idea of this opening with this legend called Morgan Freeman Hats off!! This world cup ceremony is a beautiful occasion to pay respect for the difference between people and cultures.
Only one that rivaled Morgan Freeman and perhaps even beat him as a narrator was James Earl Jones… When that man spoke it sent chills through your spine
That Young Kid with no legs made me tear up. So much lost yet so cheerful and The Quote from the Quran is equally touching O people! We created you from a male and a female, and made you races and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of God are the most righteous.(49:13)
Morgan freeman was perfect for this ceremony he looked like a wiseman who has traveled the whole world and seen all the pain and suffering people go through
Very beautiful culture, people, music and tradition. It's a shame we have let religion fanatics to influence our views and opinions about this part of the wolrd and its people. Well done Qatar. Greetings from South America.
BUT SIRR SHOULD BE MY INDIAN PEOPLE KICK OFF WORLD CUP 😠😠 THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA 🤗🇮🇳 THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD , WE NEVER DO SCAM AND WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE 🇮🇳🤗🚽, I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA 🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳
@LV I say that cuz Qatar does the opposite of the message they were preaching. Also, dancing with traditional middle eastern crusades swords would not make me feel welcome. It was a good idea but it just doesn't work, specific to them
There is no way any other voice will ever come close to Morgan Freeman. There are great narrators but Morgan's voice is the sound of Gods. To live in Morgan Freeman's time and hear that great voice is a gift of life.
Morgan Freeman could narrate my boring and mundane life and it would still sound epic! What a beautiful statement. When the world is divided, we have to remind ourselves that we are all one tribe and that there is unity and love around us if we just look around. #FifaWorldCup2022
How excited are you after this opening ceremony?
Morgan Freeman is nothing but the perfect person to do it.
Absolutely emotional 🥲 very educational experience
World has to offer great opportunities to all
Amazingly beautiful. So much Hate and Ignorance from West and Europe as usual for others.
Morgan Freeman has been an old man my whole life
😅😅😅 same I am 31 and he is still not aging
@Christina Maiya I think he’s gotten a little younger?
It's Red
He moved out of his parents house by age of 3
@Jimmy Hart 100%
Morgan Freeman's voice is perfect for any opening
Fr
I concur.
Repent to Jesus Christ “He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

MY MUSIC SHALL GO UP SOON🔥🚀
This is so beautiful. Made me 😢.
This is the best world cup opening ceremony ever!
One of the greatest opening ceremonies. So true, so deep. Something the world needed to hear.
No nude or half nude dances just simply a presentation of thier culture
What a great opening ceremony
Best line”wherever your tent is ;that’s what your home is “
What a beautiful opening ceremony. And what a beautiful stadium!!
No crime in Qatar not like in America.
@Chicago0048 yeah right LOL
@DEALWITHITDREALIST Yeah, he is right.
@Taseenk Is that so? How many people (Slaves) died while forced to work on this stadium 🤔..🤫🤫🤫
This was one of the most beautiful moments during the opening ceremony 🙌 Truly incredible
It was amazing 👏
Yes, showing off swords after talking of peace was really beautiful. 😂😂L
@WhySoSrs? what? It is part of their traditional dance…. It is nothing symbolic of hate
@Amnah A must be a lindu. Ignore.
This is beyond wonderful. Fascinating and breath-taking. I wasn't expecting the opening to be this emotional
It only took about 10k migrant lives to make this event possible!
Magical opening ceremony! Respect to Qatar 🇶🇦
Your right! No more lies..no more shakiras!
Same! I cried ❤️
This was and will always be the greatest intro to the World Cup ever 🙌 !! Morgan Freeman and Ghanim Al-Muftah did an outstanding job! Qatar was an incredible host!!
The dialog between Freeman and the invalid whose name I whished I knew, was very powerful. It is a message of unity voiced by two very differently looking people, representing historically marginalized minorities. I found it very moving and splendid.
The best World Cup opening so far ❤️
00:35 sec the kid even with his condition, he won't sit until elder person (Morgan) sits first. This is the culture I was raised by. What a scene, that split of second was not pre edited, pure respect!!!
Beautiful 🥺💯
So beautiful presented
In America the kids will sit first
I wish they had the same respect for women and people with different beliefs, let's see how much they respect the visitors of this corrupt tournament
This is so touching.. it made me cry because we don’t get along as we should. Too much greed, selfishness and other sins that separate us all!
You’re absolutely right ❤
especially americans with politics
hypocrite
I agree with your comment. I was also crying my eyes out watching this. it brought me peace to see this video and the message it has brought.
Blame the west.
movies, documentaries, and now football.. man definitely has a voice of gold, he could narrate my boring life and still make it seems epic..
ههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه 😂😂😂
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂my boring life to bro
He was god in one film ,I think Jim Carrey was in it correct me if I got it wrong
@Coat field 19 yes he played as God in Bruce Almighty, played as Alfred in The Dark Knight (Batman), etc, but he focused more on documentaries these days..
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Morgan Freeman is in really good shape for being 85 years old
I didn’t know he was 85 I thought he was younger but always looked the same 😂
Some people in their fifties/sixties struggle with sitting in a chair, he sat on the floor and stood up like he’s in his 30’s
Bros just been eating his vegetables and drinking milk.
Powerful message. Visiting the Qatar 2022 World Cup was my 5th time in the Persian Gulf, and second time in Qatar. I’ve always received a warm welcome.
What a beautiful opening ceremony!!! Simple and significant 🎉peace peace peace
Stunning intro! Watched it several times already. It was the most thoughtful introduction of any World Cups. Reciting of the ayat and the beautiful translation… gave me goosebumps.
Who was the woman who came out singing dressed in traditional clothing?
@Rivkah That was actually a captured Saudi women who tried to remove her Burqa. She is being forced to do this because Qatar has no respect for individual choice.
@Rivkah the commentator was saying… Qatari vocalist Waqara…
Wow! Finally a meaningful opening! An opportunity to spread unity and love under one sky! Morgan Freeman… your a gift from heaven!
Morgan Freeman has to undoubtedly be the greatest narrator of all time
David Attenborough has joined the chat.
Yes!!! He is for sure.
David since childhood
Lip sync
Sir David Attenborough is the real G.o.A.T
Excelent choice of performers and a beautiful touching message. Morgan Freedman the best ever!!
A beautiful message in a total contrast with the reality surrounding this World Cup.
you mean the made up controversy and disrespect the west is showing for others culture, and dont give me that labor stuff ask the mexicans in usa how they are treated, or blacks? or migrants in europe? Just keep your fingers pointed away and respect others
@A Hab both of yall making it sound like browns vs whites when it's poor vs rich.
@SkyleAndria Right? Lol it’s their own people they’re oppressing.
@A Hab I’m Mexican and a migrant worker and the way Qatar treated those workers are legit 100x Worse, at least in the US we have ways to sue and get citizenship when we are abused at work.
@A Hab000 people dying is made up? Lol
Only a man of deep wisdom can choose the beautiful soul of Morgan Freeman for this opening to be remembered....
Morgan Freeman did not make that speech he's reading a script that was given to him
😂😂😂😂
Morgan Freeman always give me chills ❤️🔥🔥🔥🇭🇳🇺🇸⚽️🙌🏾
🇸🇦
Beautiful opening! Peaceful & unifying! More respect to Morgan freeman & the inspiring man next to him! Beautiful voice!
I was very emotional when I listen to their powerful message, I hope the event helps and teach us to respect one another and to look after our wonderful world...
There was a verse from the Quran in there and it was really beautiful
Thank you ❤
@Milissa Tata yeah that's a good verse quran 49:13
Actions speak louder than words 🙏
So emotional. Touch my heart. What a great opening. The best one so far... Focusing in a United world. 🙏🌹💞
Sure, because nothing says united world like a bunch of dudes dancing with swords 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@M01 Flores you focused on the dancing while I did in the message. This is a simple reason of why we are not united... Lol
Except certain religions, cultures, minorities, and let’s not get started on the LGBTQ
@Mateo Miranda yes please let's not get started on these weirdos. Keep them away at all costs
@Angi I'm focusing on how Qatar does not respect individual choice and loves discriminating against women and homosexuals'. How is that uniting the World again?
We must protect and preserve this legendary man AT ALL COSTS!!!
MY MUSIC SHALL GO UP SOON🔥🚀
Wow, that was very deep and profound, man was split into different nations and tribes so we can get to know one another and find beauty in our differences. That touched my heart, too bad the people of the world are far removed from this.
So touching and heartbreaking. Thank you Morgan for representing the world in respecting Qatars culture and lifes meaning. Oh how we have lost our sanity so quickly. Thank you Qatar for showing us another perspective, the better one.
You may want to read about their human rights record
To whoever came with the idea of this opening with this legend called Morgan Freeman
Hats off!!
This world cup ceremony is a beautiful occasion to pay respect for the difference between people and cultures.
Great opening ceremony.
May the world live with peace...
Love the morgan freeman choice
One of the best ones yet man couldn’t of done better
The world feels more distant and divided hits hard
The message was beautifully said. It is a powerful message. Something that everyone needs to openly hear and understand.
Differences makes us better and beautiful. That was great and touching ceremony.
Only one that rivaled Morgan Freeman and perhaps even beat him as a narrator was James Earl Jones… When that man spoke it sent chills through your spine
Really heart melting and eye opening, the essence of a ceremony through inclusiveness is reflected here. Loved it
Yes including LGBTQ too
@samuel rigaud yep
@samuel rigaud they do not force you to refuse it why do you force them to accept it?
@Sub-zero I do not force you to shoot black people, why do you force me not to do it?
Qatar, thank you for showing the world a glimpse of our culture.
Yes and it sucks we heard a lot about it
@Guwap Jerkins you’re welcome to leave anytime because your opinion is not our concern at all
@Arslan 🇸🇦 cope more plz
Truly touching and inspiring!
I'm not gonna lie, this was a badass opening ceremony.💯
The messages of little kid give me chills
He recite it the verse of quran
cesarguzman yes that is what all liars do, Lie! You liar, you and your lies do not count.
That Young Kid with no legs made me tear up. So much lost yet so cheerful and The Quote from the Quran is equally touching
O people! We created you from a male and a female, and made you races and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of God are the most righteous.(49:13)
This man will never die.
Morgan freeman was perfect for this ceremony he looked like a wiseman who has traveled the whole world and seen all the pain and suffering people go through
You described him perfectly and this was a beautiful ceremony.
So of course he traveled to Qatar as well
@Jonathan Colvin says the oppressor who forces other to accept your terms. Who's the bigot here?
@Jonathan Colvin wasn't talking to you specifically. So, I don't know u gramps
Very beautiful culture, people, music and tradition. It's a shame we have let religion fanatics to influence our views and opinions about this part of the wolrd and its people. Well done Qatar. Greetings from South America.
Tribute to all the life that was sacrificed for making this event happen!!!
Also Tribute to all the life’s lost overseas from your nation
huh
The workers in Qatar are in better conditions than the normal citizens of ur country
@Yahya Haj Hamad huh lol
Mad qatar citizens incomingggg lol
Powerfull opening for who is willing to understand the message
Powerful opening ceremony for the 2022 Qatar Fifa World Cup!
Very beautiful and emotional 🥹 all in one!! Definitely ❤ much love to everyone! Brought tears to my eyes.
World cup isn't only a football tournament.
It's a period when we get united ❤️

Да но Россию подло выгнали

What an amazing opening! Love that they stayed to their culture and highlighted the values of hospitality

Really? Qatar is hospitable? Can I ask what happens if you are a single women/Homosexual in Qatar?
@jaws392cry
@jaws392 mans thinking qatar is like afghanistan or sum💀
Que orgullo!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am not sure if it’s a World Cup opening or a mankind history exhibition 😮. Wow amazing and magnificent
😢😢😢it is beyond amazing 🎉
This was beautiful, that verses he recited was touching.❤️🤲🏽
wow. this was emotional. gave me goosebumps. most beautiful opening ceremony.
This ceremony sucked
@11111mushu nah this was valid
@LV I say that cuz Qatar does the opposite of the message they were preaching. Also, dancing with traditional middle eastern crusades swords would not make me feel welcome. It was a good idea but it just doesn't work, specific to them
@11111mushu true
really amazing opening ceremony. Thank you, Qatar. Thank you for all the people that work together to make it happen.
There is no way any other voice will ever come close to Morgan Freeman. There are great narrators but Morgan's voice is the sound of Gods. To live in Morgan Freeman's time and hear that great voice is a gift of life.
Beautiful ceremony 🎉❤
This is so beautiful. Qatar did us so proud ❤️
What a great opening god bless Qatar, zero nudity zero stupid show , using gods world it gives me goosebumps
I love how he goes all in on the owners and chefs but always stays respectful towards the wait
For me this ceremony opening is one of the best, beautiful words touch our soul 🥰🤲
Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder.
@nicbongo take action then, it all starts from us.
@nicbongo also the stadium Quality is considered as acts which never been like this before so focus well about the quality of this edition
This is fantastic! I love this! Morgan Freeman is the greatest narrator ever! This is the best FIFA opening. Well Done!
What an absolutely beautiful and powerful verse from the Quran. Hopefully everyone can truly appreciate how hospitable and respectful Qatar has been ❤
@Rob Lonestar isn’t culture and religion different though?
@NinasDelightss ! That was Qur’an chapter 49 verse 13. So the quote was religious and not cultural. From a Ghanaian Muslim (non- Arab)
Best ceremony ever , it’s gonna be the best World Cup ever 🎉
Morgan Freeman could narrate my boring and mundane life and it would still sound epic! What a beautiful statement. When the world is divided, we have to remind ourselves that we are all one tribe and that there is unity and love around us if we just look around. #FifaWorldCup2022
Amazing ceremony! When the lady calls the world for unity with her team..goosebumps!
As Muslim we feel proud you Qatar .Thank you Qatar 🇶🇦 also FIFA

I LOVE this! What a message for the World
My messages don't vote Trump
Beautiful, this legit made me cry.
This is the message that the world needs right now
Old great man since day one of my life. Morgan Freeman✊🏿💯
Absolutely outstanding. A strong message about love, unity and compassion. Division only brings hate. Love from America❤️ 🇺🇸
America the continent 🌸
At least USA has a democratic government
Can't wait for 2026 as well
Truly one of the moment of all timers
Cheers to Qatar a very honorable and modest opening
Lovely ceremony and inspiring words.
Beautiful opening ceremony! Pleasant greetings from Belize!
Morgan Freeman is truly a legend..kudos Sir 💯
Legendary traitor
A legend of hypocrisy yes.
He's just playing a part for an event lol... That was a big bag day for him 💰💰💰
Morgan Freeman's voice is a world treasure.
