Adorned in blue lotus flower earrings and a necklace styled after Nefertiti’s golden necklace, Egyptian singer Farah al-Dibani performed during the closing ceremony of the Qatar 2022 World Cup where she sang the French national anthem before the start of the final match between France and Argentina. France chose Dinani to sing the French national anthem at the World Cup closing ceremony. The lotus flower, decorated with blue gradations of color symbolized beauty and love in ancient Egyptian life. Dibani was the first Egyptian singer to join the Paris Opera Academy in 2016. In April at the election victory ceremony of French President Emmanuel Macron, she sang the French national anthem.
