Islam was branded as a religion of terror and bloodshed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Nonetheless, there have been counter-movements to challenge this stereotyping from many Muslim nations within the past ten years. The Arab-Muslim nation of Qatar, which organized and hosted the 2022 World Cup, is one of them. The present study examines Qatar's progress in organizing and hosting the 2022 World Cup. The study also looks into Qatar's approach in dealing with Muslims and combating Islamophobia. A social psychology method is used in the current study to explore Qatar's mission. Investigations by print media and interviews have made it easier to comprehend the context and causes of Islamophobia. Qatar demonstrates how an anti-Islamophobia program can be constructed by first presenting a favorable impression of Muslims and Islam and presenting the reality of Islam. Additionally, an empirical study was carried out to examine media discourse in order to examine the ways that Qatar's positions and actions contributed to anti-Islamophobia globally.
