Qapco board director and general manager, Mohamed Yousef al-Mulla expressed his pride at the achievement and highlighted the importance of supporting the Qatar 2022 bid.

  "This will be an opportunity to the rest of the world to get a better understanding, not just of Qatar, but the whole region, its people and its culture," he said of the bid.

 The world record attempt for the Largest T-Shirt in the World was the latest show of support for the Qatar 2022 World Cup Bid ahead of FIFA's announcement of the host nations for 2018 and 2022 on December 2.

   The t-shirt was shown at Aspire Zone, and the event was attended by Qapco officials, Qatar 2022 bid officials as well as members of the public and a judge from the Guinness Book of World Records.

   The previous world's largest t-shirt was verified by Guinness World Records in September of this year in South Africa. The 2,782 sq m shirt which is housed in an airport in Johannesburg occupies the same area as 10 tennis courts and is big enough for some 16,692 people to stand upon.

   The area of Qapco's t-shirt is 3,516.25 sq m and is made of cotton. The six-tonne t-shirt had been produced in China before being transported to Doha and its location at Aspire Zone.
   The t-shirt was kept at Aspire, but will be housed at the Museum of Islamic Art in the future, said al-Mulla.

    The Guinness World Record for the longest time controlling a football is 24 hours and was achieved by Dan Magness (UK) during an event organized by Sony PlayStation in Covent Garden, London, UK.
