Jungkook Praised By FIFA President Gianni Infantino For ‘Best Opening Ceremony’

Gianni Infantino recently posted about the 2022 FIFA World Cup, celebrating the event’s success back in December. In his post, the president of the sports federation reminisced about announcing the World Cup’s opening. Infantino also shared memorable images from the event including a photo of Jungkook performing during the opening ceremony.

“Five months ago today, I had the privilege of announcing the opening of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar and what a great spectacle it turned out to be!” Infantino wrote. He added, “The BEST opening ceremony was followed by the BEST FIFA World Cup ever!

Jungkook wrote the song “Dreamers” for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He released the song ahead of the event before performing the single with Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi at the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony also featured appearances from veteran actor Morgan Freeman and Qatari YouTuber Ghanim Al-Muftah.

Jeon Jungkook has been busy since his performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony last year. He was recently announced as the new global ambassador for American fashion house Calvin Klein.
