Fans travelling from Washington, New York and California were a picture of consistency at Qatar’s matches at the Gold Cup group stage. Hundreds of flag-waving fans have been seen at Qatar’s matches against Panama, Honduras and Grenada. Before entering the match venue in Houston last week, fans were also seen purchasing team merchandise at QFA’s kiosks installed around the stadium. “The wonderful atmosphere created by Qatar fans was an opportunity for various CONCACAF media to witness the kind of fan adulation Qatar team enjoys wherever it plays,” a fan said after Qatar beat Honduras 2-0 on Tuesday. “The tournament is being staged in the United States, and when you go out in the streets, you can see why this sport is the fastest growing game in the country,” another fan added. “It has been a pleasure to see Arab communities come out and support Qatar,” the fan said. It is worth mentioning that Qatar is participating in the tournament for the first time. The overwhelming fan support for the Qatar national team on the tour to the US has been a success story because of diligent efforts by the Marketing and Communications Department of QFA.
