Al-Marsad newspaper: A Qatari businessman invited a group of England World Cup fans to his palace for lunch after seeing one of them wearing a Wolverhampton Wanderers shirt.
To the surprise of Jassa and his friends, the businessman, known only as Omar, sent a car to pick them up from their hotel in Doha to meet him. According to the DailyMail.
And the fans went to the entrepreneur’s villa, where he organized a banquet for lunch, including a plate of fruit in the shape of a soccer ball.
They were then given a tour of the palace and were invited to take a dip in its swimming pool before they all watched Japan’s surprising 2-1 win over Germany.
Jassa said: “He noticed my shirt and we started talking about football, Wolves, and Raul Jimenez said he’s a Manchester United fan, then we got an invitation from him to go to his building.”
He continued: “He was a kind and hospitable man. He started buying food and drinks and didn’t let us pay, but he wanted us to feel welcome in his land and hosted us in his palace.”
