La mascota del Mundial Qatar 2022: cómo se llama, qué es y qué significa

La’eeb, una mascota de larga tradición en cada Mundial anterior, se presentó por primera vez en el sorteo de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA en Doha, Qatar, en abril de 1°.

During a segment of the video, the mascot made an appearance soaring through the sky. The unveiling occurred prior to the finalization of the tournament schedule, featuring an animated video that narrated the tale of La’eeb and was showcased to a global audience of millions.

La’eeb has introduced stickers, GIFs, wallpapers, and filters across different platforms, taking inspiration from previous mascots like Zabivaka (2018), Fuleco (2014), and Zakumi (2010).

What does it mean? What is it exactly? And many similar questions were raised: La’eeb’s debut soon became a topic of discussion among fans.

Live results: football, basketball, baseball, and more results in the Yuugado Live Sport app.

The designers and FIFA had in mind what to explain about trying here. Many of those answers have remained open to interpretation.

The mascot, which aims to have an anthropomorphic identity fixed according to the marketing team, does not intend to have a clearly defined identity. In Qatar and the Middle East, it is worn with a fabric headpiece that resembles a gutra, at first sight.

“FIFA explained that La’eeb can manifest as a creation of one’s imagination, taking on whatever form the football fan desires. According to FIFA, La’eeb is a comical and playful figure originating from the realm of pets, a parallel dimension where all tournament pets reside.”

“Espíritu aventurero” is a playful and “juvenil” mascot, described as “divertida”, “edificante”, and “valiente”. It was created by FIFA to embody imagination and to be a source of inspiration for someone, with many adjectives to describe it.

They also endeavored to describe that “pet universe” from which La’eeb comes, where apparently pets have been trying to communicate with humans for centuries.

Continuing the marketing speech of FIFA, “An alternate universe where the mascots of the competitions reside.” “It is a realm where concepts and innovation form the basis of the personalities that inhabit the minds of all.”

The announcement extensively covered various aspects, including La’eeb’s impressive record of “participating in all preceding World Cups” and his significant contributions to memorable moments in the history of football, including several legendary goals. The theme of imagination was consistently emphasized in the announcement.

Is it a ghost? That is indeed talent. In the introductory video, La’eeb has no hesitation in claiming credit for Maradona’s famous “hand of God” goal, as well as Robin van Persie’s diving header against Spain in the 2014 World Cup. In fact.

“Now it’s everything,” with the motto of positive vibrations to the tournament, is clearly La’eeb’s goal, whatever it may be, using male pronouns, FIFA describes La’eeb without explicitly stating the gender.

What does the name of the 2022 World Cup mascot mean?

According to FIFA, the name La’eeb means “a gifted player” in Arabic.
