Prototype of Mascot for Qatar 2022 World Cup

The prototype is the traditional dress of Qatar.

Raib, the mascot of Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup in 2022, has simple graphic design, snow-white body, elegant traditional headdress and red printed pattern. It looks like a "wonton skin" when chasing football with open wings. FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Organizing Committee has strict requirements on the facial expressions and postures of mascots.

After in-depth research, the team in Dongguan installed a small cloth bag inside the toy, filled it with cotton and tied it tightly, which gave Leib a nose-the first version of the sample was made in 2020, and after continuous improvement and eight versions of changes, it was recognized by the Organizing Committee and FIFA.

Background story

Rhaib comes from the parallel universe where the mascot of the World Cup is located. She participated in every FIFA World Cup and witnessed the highlights in the history of football. However, the official did not explain the relationship between Raibu and other World Cup mascots. It is worth noting that Zabivaka, the mascot of the 20 18 Russian World Cup, did not appear in the official promotional film of FIFA.

La'eeb is a cartoon character, which can be transformed into anything according to people's imagination, that is to say, it has no specific anthropomorphic identity. La'eeb is young and full of energy, which brings happiness and confidence wherever she goes. FIFA believes that fans will like it, and Rhaib will bring different World Cup experiences to fans all over the world.
