Cape Town’s Natasha Petersen flew the South African flag high at the recently concluded FIFA World Cup in Qatar, as she featured as the Venue Logistics Manager at the iconic Lusail Stadium.
Hailing from Grassy Park, Petersen took to Facebook to share her excitement as she not only worked on the tournament but was also part of the buzzing final between Argentina and France, which saw more than 80 000 spectators in attendance.
“Never in a million years would we have dreamed that I would be working on the @fifaworldcup @fifa_qatar_football_2022 and the final match, and that @petersen_robin would be here as a spectator watching the final game between Argentina v France. This is what dreams are made of, coupled with hard work, perseverance and sacrifice!”
