Prior to the event, LCSC organized an activation ceremony in cooperation with the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy during which MotoGP’s 2021 top three riders Fabio Quartararo (FRA-Yamaha), Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (ITA-Ducati) and Joan Mir (SPA-Suzuki) rode their bikes alongside the former Brazilian football player and Qatar Legacy ambassador Cafu from LCSC to Lusail’s Iconic Stadium - newly built to host FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 – where they were met by two other Qatar Legacy ambassadors, the three former Qatari football players Mubarak Mustafa,  Khaled Salman and Ahmed Khalil. Once at the stadium, the riders switched into the outfits of their respective national football teams and joined the three ambassadors in a friendly match.
