Well there is another point too, we are speaking about footballers that spends few years in the team and then afterwards leave Doha and return to their country. What about those who served this countries their whole life? My grandfather served this country for 20 years and he made a differenc in Qatar's education back then when people hardly knew anything about education. I mustn't lie they offered him the passport but instead take the Egyptian passport. My grandfather refused because he couldn't simply give away where he actually comes from. Then my dad followed him and lived here from primary until high school. He then got back to Egypt, finished his University studies and came back to Qatar, he didn't even get a job and got paid. He volunteered as a Doctor (because that's what he does) at Hamad Hospital; back then it was the best hospital in Doha (soon it won't be). Then they decided to finally give him a job at HMC and get paid. He then used to travel fro time to time to Egypt. He met mum, got married and got her to Doha. He gave birth to my brother, my sister and I. My brother is 23, my sister is 22 and I am 21. So imagine how many years my dad spent in this country. I spent my whole life, my sister and brother same thing. My mum spent over 20 years. After all they have to bother themselves and offer us the passport, not us going and asking for it. I am saying out of appreciation they were suppose to do so. The reason why I want to get the passport is that I can't imagine myself living anywhere else but in Doha at the moment. It's like home, Egypt isn't forgotten or anything. But I lived in Qatar and it happened that I did. Now this is something more concerning than football players getting the passport and keeping it. And I am sure that there are lots of people that served this country for over 20 years and they still aren't appreciated for that. Gesture of appreciation, there are many.
