However, this year’s mascot gained the most attention

La’eeb, the official mascot of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, is also a popular topic of conversation.

Many people were confused and said that this year’s mascot is the funniest-looking one.

They questioned if La’eeb was related to Casper the friendly ghost or if Casper the friendly ghost had converted.

It is not a ghost, but rather a “fantasy figure.”

La’eeb is an Arabic term that means “super-talented player.” He belongs to an indescribable parallel mascot-verse.

La’eeb supposedly originated from a parallel universe that is home to all of the World Cup mascots, according to both the World Cup host and FIFA. “It’s a world where ideas and creativity form the basis for characters who live in everyone’s mind,” the FIFA website says.
