His Excellency took an inspection tour of the exhibition, during which he was briefed on the works of art on display and listened to a detailed explanation from the exhibition's organizers. His Excellency praised all the exhibition participants' artworks and paintings.

The exhibition was decorated with many paintings that combined FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatari identity (which was represented by Qatar landmarks, national dress, and Qatari heritage), as well as stadiums built specifically for the tournament by the State of Qatar, such as Al Bayt Stadium, Al Janoub Stadium, and Al Thumama Stadium.

Ms. Sheikha Rabea, Head of the Institutional Culture Initiative and a member of the exhibition's organizing team, said: "The exhibition was inspired by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education's desire to involve all Ministry employees, including administrative staff, teachers, and students, in the largest international sporting event that the State of Qatar will host, FIFA World Cup 2022, which will be held for the first time in Arab lands, specifically in our dear homeland Qatar, and in conjunction with the preparations the country is witnessing to receive FIFA World Cup".

The main goal of the exhibition, according to Ms. Sheikha, is to highlight the artists' works and artistic touches for the FIFA World Cup 2022, as well as to create a spirit of competition among artists. The jury will select ten winning paintings based on specific criteria, and these paintings will be displayed on the Ministry's walls.

Mrs. Sheikha explained: About 57 schools participated in the exhibition, with more than 100 paintings and 10 models, and the Department of Special Education and Gifted students from various schools added 9 distinct paintings.  The Department of Public Relations and Communication also participated in 33 photographs of the national team players.

It is worth noting that the exhibition "Creations of Artistic Talents to Receive the World Cup" will continue until September 29.
