The Hindu
Fahad received a cash prize of 10,000 Qatar Riyals for his designs, which were selected to be part of a range of luxury products associated with the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Fahad Ali, a brand designer from Kozhikode, Kerala, is on cloud nine after two of his designs were selected to be part of a range of luxury products that are to be brought out in connection with the FIFA World Cup in Qatar next year. In fact, his joy is two fold, since he is also one of the Official Fan Leaders selected by FIFA for the upcoming World Cup, and is the only Indian to achieve this feat.
Fahad had taken part in a design competition jointly organised by Museum of Islamic Art, Qatar and the Blue Saloon, the official FIFA product licensee, inviting designs for their products. He had submitted entries in several categories, but his designs of a foldable bag and candles were selected. He also received a cash prize of 10,000 Qatar Riyals for the same. Later on, the cuff-links he designed were reconsidered as well.
“This is a dream come true for me and an ultimate recognition for me as a designer”, said Fahad, who is also an ardent football fan.
