Qatar has made efforts to make the 2022 World Cup, to start in the country next Sunday (20), the most sustainable ever. An executive from Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy talked with ANBA in Egypt. In his article “An account of Brazil,” diplomat Pablo P. S. Romero wrote about the earliest reference to the country in Egypt’s leading newspaper, Al Ahram, back in 1889.

A record search carried out in 2021 in the archives of Al Ahram – Egypt’s leading newspaper – revealed a publication of great historical interest: The earliest reference to Brazil appears in the first page of the edition of November 19, 1889, in Arabic, on the occasion of the Proclamation of the Republic. The news, which had reached Cairo by telegraphy, caught the Egyptian public attention and led to the publication of an account of historiographical importance of Brazil in the late nineteenth century, although the fidelity to the facts is only approximate.
