Inside incredible gift bag given to fans at World Cup stadiums with football, flags and bottle of PERFUME
FANS that attended the opening game of the World Cup 2022 received an extra special gift from the hosts.
The biggest tournament in football began on Sunday as host nation Qatar were beaten 2-0 by Ecuador.
Enner Valencia’s double was enough to get the South Americans off to a winning start in Group A.
The stadium announcer at the Al Bayt Stadium claimed that a whopping 67,000 people were in attendance to see the curtain raiser - despite the capacity being just 60,000.
However, for those who did actually go to the match, they got themselves a little memento - which included some perfume.
One supporter who did go shared snaps of the goody bag, which had a football, bottle, flags and a pin badge as part of it, on Twitter.
