Recently, an usher for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar went viral for his amusing yet effective way of directing fans to the nearby metro station after the matches.
His actions earned him much attention and even free merchandise from his employers.
In a TikTok video posted by @mozzartsport on Wednesday (23 Nov), a man sits on a high chair as he ushers football fans to the metro station.
Donning a large foam finger, he chants the word “metro” on his loudhailer earnestly.
His simple ushering method seems to attract many people’s attention, as a crowd gathers before him, cheering him on.
He cracks up behind the foam finger before resuming the “metro” chants for his newfound fans.

In a video, he thanks the fans for their support, telling them to “keep sharing, keep posting and keep commenting”.
As it turns out, the man’s efforts in making a boring job more entertaining did not go unnoticed by his employers.
In another TikTok video posted by user @pdretorbar, the man is seen receiving several World Cup merchandise in a mini ceremony.
He smiles widely as he receives the gifts, which include a football, a jersey and a backpack among other items.
A netizen even jokes that the “Metro Man” is now more famous than Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi.

The World Cup gifts he received were definitely well-deserved.
