Rajan (mascot design for Qatar FIFA World Cup)
(Rajan is a conceptual project created by the character designers: Bernardo Prata, Emmanuel Bezerra, Joel Nunes Jr , Otávio Augusto, Giovanna Santos and Rotenfelder.)
Name: Rajan (means “king”)
Species: Lizard
Age: 7 years (an adult, as lizards live an average of 15 years)
Genre: Male
Habitat: Khor Al Adaid desert

"Rajan is a small desert lizard who was born into a very wealthy family who were passionate about soccer.
Since he was little, Rajan has always seen his family playing soccer and watching games on TV.
Once, when he was still a puppy, he got an improvised ball with a pebble and began to practice the movements that his brothers and cousins did with the ball.
He immediately thought: “Wow! Who knew that soccer could be so much fun?!”
When he received his first official ball as a gift, he named it Chandra (which means “moon”).
Nowadays, when he's not playing ball, he's playing FIFA 22 in the video game.
Rajan's family has the habit of traveling the world during the World Cup to visit the host countries. How do they do it? They are billionaires!!! They have their own plane!!!!

Rajan has 2 big dreams:
1- Get a shirt autographed by his biggest soccer idol, Lionel Messi.
2- Become a professional player, to be able to participate in a World Cup.

The big problem is that Rajan doesn't have much patience. He wants to solve everything fast! He used to see his family having lots of perks because of the money, then he ended up being influenced.
So, he doesn't want to go through a selection, enter the base divisions of professional teams, or train every day... Not that he's lazy. It's immaturity.
Honestly speaking, Rajan has become extremely skilled with the ball and dribbles past humans with surprising speed!
Let's follow this little lizard in this Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022?"
