Social media stars from across the world compete for Influencer Cup in Qatar
Gulf Times
Social media personalities from across the globe descended on Doha this week for the Influencer Cup – a competition organised by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), powered by Qatar Airways and supported by Visit Qatar.
Twenty-nine football influencers competed in matches at Stadium 974, one of eight FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament venues. The influencers were split into four five-a-side teams representing different regions: Asia, Middle East and North Africa, the Americas and Europe. They benefitted from top-level coaching from Qatar Legacy Ambassadors, Cafu, Ronald de Boer and Tim Cahill – who all appeared at multiple World Cups.
The competition, which was won by Team Americas, featuring Argentinians Morena Beltran and Markito Navaja, Mexican Werevertumorro, US influencers DJ Diveny and Michael Bolvin, and Brazilian trio Caio Lo, Vitor Lo and Ale Xavier, was organised to showcase everything Qatar has to offer through the eyes of highly-engaged influencers who boast millions of followers worldwide.
Caio Lo was top scorer in the tournament, while other high-profile participants included Billy Wingrove, Sean Garnier, Mo Ali Haydarpour and Bashar Arabi
