FIFA
explained the meaning of the emblem, saying the “design embodies
the vision of an event that connects and engages the entire world,
while also featuring striking elements of local and regional Arab
culture and allusions to the beautiful game.”
And
the curves on the emblem stand for the “undulations of desert
dunes” while the unbroken loop depicts both the number eight –
which recognises the stadiums which will play host to World Cup
matches – as well as the infinity symbol “reflecting the
interconnected nature of the event”.
A
new design that unique compared to the previous FIFA World Cup
emblems, was meant to 'reimagine the traditional Arabic calligraphy
in a new, and modern font' and is inspired by the Middle East (home
to Qatar). Source
