A football-mad Qatari couple have named their baby in honour of their nation's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
Nayef Al Shimmari and his wife decided to call their newborn baby girl 'Fifa' in honour of the organisation that awarded the quadrennial football tournament to the tiny Arab nation.
"When I was in labour I heard that Qatar was picked ahead of many other countries to host the World Cup finals, so my husband and I decided to name her Fifa," said the delighted mother, who admitted that she had originally planned to call her daughter Dana.
"We saw that Qataris were truly overjoyed with the historic award and we wanted to contribute to the celebrations in our own way," she added.
Qatari daily newspaper Al Raya added that the couple already have a two-year-old son, Saqr.
