The Lebanese national football team received a massive welcome during their visit to the Lebanese pavilion at Expo Qatar. Among those greeting them were the Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. George Kallas, along with the two commissioners at the Lebanese pavilion: the Director General of the Ministry of Economy, Dr. Mohammad Abu Haidar, and the Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Engineer Louis Lahoud. The visit, which the Lebanese Embassy had scheduled and promoted before the start of the AFC Asian Cup finals, was met with a tremendous response from members of the Lebanese community in Doha, the Qatari capital. They gathered to cheer on the team and express their support, affirming their unwavering backing regardless of the results achieved in the Asian tournament, which features the top 24 teams from the world's largest continent. The team toured some of the Expo's halls accompanied by organizers and embassy staff. At the end of the tour, a group of children presented the team with a commemorative trophy, which was accepted by captain Hassan Maatouk. The public then took photos with the players and obtained their autographs amidst an exceptional atmosphere filled with patriotic chants in support of the national team. Rice.
