“As a sports pundit, heading to Qatar will give me great inspiration, it will grant me the zeal to continue broadcasting this beautiful game to Kenya and the rest of the world,” Hassan underlined.
Apart from watching the game live, the lucky winners will be taken through an exclusive tour where they will visit Qatar’s historic sites including the Msheireb Museums in Doha and the National Museum of Qatar.
