The world’s biggest sporting event, the FIFA World Cup 2022, created huge interest as Qatar reveled in becoming the first Arab nation to host the spectacle, which is held every four years.

With 32 participating national teams, Qatar hosted more than 1.2 million international visitors for more than a month.

An herbal tea called maté is growing in popularity thanks in part to football superstars like Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Neymar, and Harry Kane. The sight of the footballers arriving for matches sipping from their iconic maté gourds continues to prompt interest in the tea’s health benefits – especially its stimulating and antioxidant effects.
