More from Esquire Qatar Summer 2026 cover star Jamal Musiala

The German football sensation has already established himself as one of the game’s brightest talents. After a serious injury threatened to derail his season, Musiala fought his way back with remarkable determination.

Introducing our Esquire Qatar Winter 2025 cover star: visionary filmmaker, box-office record-breaker, and deep-sea diver James Cameron.
