FIFA have finally unveiled the logo for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
The official unveiling took place in Qatar’s capital, Doha, as thousands of spectators witnessed the projection of the emblem onto a number of the country’s most iconic buildings including Burj Doha and Katara Cultural Village Amphitheatre.
A number of major cities around the world also celebrated the milestone and images of the emblem were seen on renowned locations including Argentina's capital Buenos Aires and Spanish capital Madrid.
FIFA say the design "embodies the vision of an event that connects and engages the entire world, while also featuring striking elements of local and regional Arab culture and allusions to the beautiful game."
The 2022 hosts have taken inspiration from local and regional Arab culture, with the swooping curves representing the undulations of desert dunes while the unbroken loop depicts the number eight – a reminder of the eight stadiums that will host matches.
The construction of the plush arenas has already attracted plenty of controversy, however, with an estimated 1,200 deaths directly linked to the construction of stadiums and workers sed to be poorly compensated.
Organisers are desperate to ensure the facilities, which are all being built from scratch, will be ready in term for the tournament, which is due to get underway on November 21.
Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger has not ruled out the possibility of taking charge of a national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Frenchman, 69, is currently enjoying life away from the dugout having left Arsenal after 22 years at the helm in May 2018.
