Doha: CEO of Aspire Zone Foundation Mohammed Khalifa Al Suwaidi said Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is a source of pride, adding that the global event is a new achievement to be added to the list of the country’s sports-linked accomplishments.
Speaking to QNA, Al Suwaidi said that Doha Sports City will spare no effort to make the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the first-ever to be held in the Middle East, the best and most distinctive in the World Cup history. He added that the foundation is keen that the tournament will leave a legacy and pride for future generations and achieve Qatar’s vision.
Aspire Zone Foundation with its three members — Aspire Academy, Aspetar, and Aspire Logistics — seek to prepare facilities and harness all their human energies to facilitate the World Cup hosting and provide the tournament with the Foundation’s distinctive facilities and services, he added.
Al Suwaidi hailed the Aspire Sports City as a global sports edifice that meets all requirements for events and management of sports facilities, highlighting Aspire Logistics’ potentials for institutional services management. He also revealed that a number of doctors, nurses and a number of healthcare teams from Aspetar, a leading institution specialising in orthopaedics and sports medicine, have been assigned to in-stadium medical aid during the World Cup.
Al Suwaidi said Aspire Zone offers a range of accommodations during the tournament, with FIFA members staying at The Torch Doha Hotel at the heart of Aspire Zone, the Qatari national team at Al Aziziyah Boutique Hotel, and the Australian national team at the Aspire Academy’s Student dorms.
The Aspire Park venues will serve as training facilities, and Khalifa International Stadium will host several matches during the tournament.
