We thank very much the Qatari government for giving Indonesian nationals opportunities to be involved and be part of the World Cup 2022 and other major sports events in Qatar.”
Event Coordinator, Wahyu Hidayat said: “Folding bike symbolises compactness, mobility, and fun as does the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar - the most compact world cup ever in the history! So we wanted to show the football fans, greater football communities and the rest of the world the compactness of the tournament and how we can expect amazing experiences during the world cup this year.”
