Supporters of the Canadian national team expressed their happiness with the team's presence in the World Cup 2022.
Canadian journalist Elizabeth Salion said that Canada's presence in the World Cup is a huge achievement, especially after a long absence that lasted more than 36 years.
Elizabeth, who works for a Canadian news agency, said: "We are pleased with the Canadian team's presence in the World Cup, and there are large numbers of fans who came to Qatar to follow the team that presented heroic matches in the CONCACAF qualifiers, starting with goalkeeper Milan Borjan, to the great player Alphonso Davies, and Jonathan David and we've been waiting a long time to get back to the World Cup."
She added: "We are happy with our national team, we know that they are playing under pressure, but nevertheless there are many young players who represent the hope of football in Canada and we are proud of what they have done."
Canadian journalist Nora Stankovic at Soccer Media Corporation in Canada expressed her great passion for the Canadian team's participation in the tournament, in its second appearance, more than three decades after its first participation in the World Cup in Mexico in 1986, and said: "In the World Cup qualifiers, everyone was certain that they will not see the national team in the World Cup before the 2026 edition when Canada participates in organising it alongside the US and Mexico, but coach John Herdman and all the players performed well."
Michael Ricky, a Canadian journalist of Kenyan origin who works with a sports website in his country, said he had visited several stadiums and was left very impressed by the facilities.
However, he was sad for Canada loss against the Croatian team.
He added: "Away from the hustle and bustle of football, I was keen not to miss the opportunity and visit some areas, including Sealine, Katara Cultural Village and Souq Waqif."
Manuela Chesky, a photographer with a Canadian sports newspaper, expressed her desire to visit the eight stadiums. She added: "The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will leave a tremendous legacy for many years."
