With that, we've come to the end of the coverage. Thank you so much for tuning in to The Daily Q's coverage of the conference. #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
The final session of the day is “On Qatar 2022 World Cup: Critical Perspectives on Western Media Narratives,” moderated by NU-Q’s Scheherazade Gaffoor. #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
Modes of fan engagement have changed with the advent of social media which has made stadium attendance as the only measure to quantify "football culture" outdated, @anhistorian says. #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
.@IreneGreekqatar says Qatar's efforts to display its cultural identity with #WorldCup stadiums, combining pre-historic references and modern architectural marvels, is "unique and balanced." #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
The third panel of the day, “Football, Literature, Journalism: A View from Latin America” will discuss the rich chronicles of football and its coverage from Latin America and how it has influenced the literature around the region. #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
Moderator @Marcela_Pizarro details Pedro Lemebel and his queer perspective on chronicling literature and Chilean popular culture, asking the panelists about alternative linguistic angles. #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
Diego Maradona's romanticism and legacy are unmatched, part of which is because he blended beauty with football just like literature, @jbecerra2012 says. #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
The second panel of #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022, “Covering Football Politics and Protest” is a discussion on football’s place in political protests, reflecting mass discontent, and the growth of these dynamics through different digital media.
Sports bloggers rose with the dawn of the 21st century and changed the sports media landscape in Turkey, @abagis says. Sports and entertainment journalism can break prejudices while explaining the problems, he adds.

🗣 @MezahiMaher: "You need to have a unifying factor to protest against oppression. In North Africa, it's art, music, and football. These factors influenced the Hirak movement." #ViewsfromtheSouthQatar2022
