England and Qatar’s shared history as seafaring nations provided inspiration for Hugo Dalton’s goalpost, set by the shore at Lusail City Marina. England’s three lions, its St George’s Cross and the triangular sails of traditional Qatari dhow boats are all referenced in the sweeps of fabric that surround the post. As they ripple in the breeze, one can see the graceful movements of a young footballer in motion as drawn by the artist and a sea of English flags being proudly waved by fans as they watch their team in competition. The gold frame represents the nation’s victory in 1966, when the England team became World Champions.
