Qatar University (QU) announced that it will transfer the room where Argentinian player Lionel Messi stayed in during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 into a small museum. 

The university campus was the base camp of the La Albiceleste during their 29 days of the tournament, and had added some Argentinian touches to make the players feel at home. 

 

In a new video released by QU, it shows the campus decked up in blue and white, and its halls filled with posters of the World Cup champions, their autographs and jerseys. 

Qatar University had opened three sports complexes for the team that provide the opportunity to practice outdoor sports, in addition to the indoor gym for women.
