“The 2022 World Cup can be an opportunity for change in Qatar,” says a Honduran-Angelino fan
Martín Pineda is jumping for joy because on Wednesday 38 November he will board a plane that will take him to his third World Cup in the Arab country of Qatar. But he is not alone but accompanied by a group of 10 friends from Los Angeles , New York, Honduras and Mexico.
“I have been fortunate to go to the World Cup in Brazil and Russia, and I had told myself that I would not go to the World Cup in Qatar due to all the restrictions in That country. I felt that it was not going to be the same, but when I listened to one of the videos of Alan around the World , I liked it when he said that Qatar opens the doors to the world and I think that it can lead to progressive change.”
With that mentality, Martín, the son of immigrant parents from Honduras, born in Los Angeles, an activist for the rights of migrants and a soccer fan, began to plan the trip and encouraged several friends who joined him.
