The title features disabled people in Qatar and the protagonist in the American film The Shawshank Redemption, which implies that human resilience, human strength and human spirit are a powerful force, and no difficulty can stop the pace of life. Although Qatar is a Muslim country, an important event like the opening ceremony, in which foreign celebrities are invited to perform, has no narrow nationalism, which fully shows the openness of embracing the civilized world.

The theme of the opening ceremony is human unity. I hope football can unite human beings, just like gathering under the same tent to meet the same challenges. As the slogan of this World Cup says, NowisAll is everything at this moment.
