“Excited to be hosting all the games especially getting the opportunity to Team Canada in action,” his post reads.

Wayne flew out to Qatar and got to work quickly as he helped host the opening ceremonies Sunday.

“The opening ceremonies were such a blast! So humbled to work with such talented people,” he said in a post.

He later hosted the first game between Ecuador and Qatar, which kicked off the World Cup.
