SF physician Nasser Mohamed — the only Qatari to have ever publicly come out — made his entrance at Saturday's Qatar-Switzerland match at Levi's Stadium in a customized ceremonial cloak and rainbow sleeves, then hosted a free after-party at the Old Mint.

The Qatar-Switzerland match at Levi's Stadium on Saturday ended 1-1 — a late Qatari header made it a draw in the Bay Area's first World Cup encounter — but the image most people walked away with came from the seats, not the pitch.

Dr. Nasser Mohamed, known as Dr. Nas, is an SF physician working in HIV prevention and queer community health. He's also the only person from Qatar ever to have publicly come out. On Saturday afternoon he walked down the aisle to his seat in the Qatari cheering section wearing a floor-length bisht — the traditional Arab ceremonial cloak — customized with "LOVE" and "FREEDOM" embroidered in gold and rainbow-colored sleeves cascading down his arms. The section around him was otherwise dressed in all-white. State Senator Scott Wiener came along for the match.

The footage moved. Dr. Nas posted it to Instagram from the car on the ride back to SF. By the time he got to his next stop, the video had 1.1 million views.

That stop was the Old Mint — the 1874 federal building at Fifth and Mission in SoMa — where he hosted "Love is You," a free after-party in the courtyard. He traded the bisht for a one-shoulder chiffon dress. Dr. Nas founded The Alwan Foundation, which gathers and publishes data on LGBTQ life in Gulf states, and launched the "Love is the Goal" campaign around this World Cup. Saturday at Levi's was the Bay Area chapter.

The remaining matches: The Bay Area has five more games at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara through July 1. VTA light rail from Mountain View or Capitol Station is the reliable move in and out — Tasman Drive turns into a parking lot after the final whistle, and it's a long wait. Tickets for most remaining group-stage games are findable on the secondary market. If the stadium is too far, the SF Fan Zone at Thrive City (outside Chase Center, free, big screen) runs through July 19.

Saturday showed that sometimes the stands are the whole point. The remaining five matches are wide open — bring a flag.
