During the ceremony of awarding for the victory of the national team of Argentina at the FIFA World Cup – 2022, the Emir of Qatar presented Lionel Messi with a bisht - a traditional Arab dark cloak worn over white clothes, “Kmosomolskaya Pravda” writes.

Bisht presented to Messi is sewn from black semitransparent fabric and decorated with gold fringe. The Emir of Qatar himself donned on the bisht over Messi’s shoulders and the Argentine footballer went to receive the cup already in it.

The Bisht among the Arabs is considered a special, festive clothing, almost like a tuxedo in Western countries. It is worn on special occasions – for weddings or big holidays. A Bisht is an indicator of the status of its owner.
