Foreign journalists began searching for their Arab counterparts to ask them about this cloak, while others resorted to Google to find additional information about the "bisht" and send it to their workplaces, so that they could learn more about the unchallenged snapshot of the coronation ceremony and the closing of the World Cup.

During the journalists' trip, the Secretary-General of the Projects and Legacy Committee, Hassan Al-Thawadi, entered the mixed zone, to be bombarded with questions from all sides, including about the "uniform" that Messi wore before lifting the World Cup.

Al-Thawadi told reporters - including Al-Jazeera Net - that "it is an official and traditional outfit that we wear to celebrate, or on official occasions and weddings, for example. And because Messi is the winner of the cup, this outfit was given to him, and if other players won, we would have done the same thing, and this snapshot was well received by many." ".

He added, "The Qatar World Cup was an opportunity to show our Qatari, Arab, Islamic and Middle Eastern culture to the world, and how everyone celebrated the World Cup and found common ground to celebrate."

He continued, "We are proud of this achievement, because it is the result of the efforts of many years of hard work. This championship is Arab and Middle Eastern on the land of Qatar, with the presence of fans from all over the world, some of whom are visiting Qatar and the Arab world for the first time, and I discovered Arab culture, customs and traditions."

He pointed out that "many fans have discovered that there are many points of convergence between our culture and their cultures, more than differences, which has changed the stereotype about the Arab world. Things ended well, and the results are positive at all levels, foremost of which are the results of the Arab teams and the achievement of Morocco and its arrival to the The semi-finals, and we must invest opportunities now in football at home and culturally abroad, and to show our best image abroad.”
