Nasser & the Ticket

Whilst stuck in an Arabic class, Nasser, a Brazil football fan, does all he can to get a ticket to Pelé's first-ever match in Qatar.

Almost 50 years ago this year, the legendary Pelé played a match in Doha Sports Stadium. On that fateful day in 1973, young Nasser is desperate to see his idol take the field. But he is stuck in Arabic class and must avoid the wrath of his teacher as he attempts to get his hands on a ticket in this charming short about the beautiful game and its power to bring people together.
