Qatar Bid 2022 World Cup

DOHA, May 16 (QNA) -16 May 2009 - Qatar 2022, bidding to host the first ever FIFA World Cup in the Middle East, today unveiled its vision to unite the Arab world and drive better understanding of the region globally through the world''s biggest sports event.
Describing Qatar as "like a true sportsman" ahead of the Bid''s brand launch in front of a 50,000 sell-out crowd at the Khalifa National Stadium in Doha for the HH Emir Cup Final, His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, President of Qatar 2022, said: "The unwavering resolution of the Qatari people and the government - to modernise, to advocate for peace, to build for the future - is like the iron will of an athlete in pursuit of victory.
"Qatar is a land of action and not just promises. It''s what makes us the ideal partner to help FIFA establish with certainty that football, and its virtues, is a tool with which a better future can be built. "Qatar 2022 is a Bid on behalf of the whole region. The first global sports event in the Middle East provides an opportunity for greater understanding and unity between the Arab and Western worlds and can inspire enthusiastic support from football fans young and old across the entire region."
With the world''s fastest-growing economy, highest per capita GDP and experience as host of the 2006 Asian Games as well as the impending 2011 AFC Asian Cup, Qatar plans to host the most state-of-the-art, financially robust and hospitable FIFA World Cup in history.
Hassan Al-Thawadi, CEO of Qatar 2022, said: "Today we are immensely proud to unveil the Qatar 2022 brand, which can become a symbol for hope, understanding and inspiration in the Middle East and around the world. Football transcends cultural barriers; in every sense, it is the world game. "We are serious about winning the right to host the FIFA World Cup in the Arab world for the first time. We are offering FIFA an incredible event, with a tremendous football legacy, but also a legacy for humanity. "Qatar 2022 can be a watershed moment and our job until December 2010 is to use every day to make the dreams of Qataris and the whole Arab world a reality."
About the Qatar 2022 Brandmark: The new Qatar 2022 brandmark artfully combines the concepts of international football and Qatari heritage. The 32 pentagons represent the surface of a football, using colours that reflect the natural heritage of Qatar-warm, luminescent colours of sand and sun which spiral inwards, alongside the azure blues of the sea. The pentagons form roadways leading to Qatar, bringing participant teams from all over the world to compete on the great stage that is the FIFA World Cup.
The brandmark was developed by leading global brand consultancy, FutureBrand, part of the Interpublic Group of Companies.(QNA)

At least the 2014 world cup is in the Americas,which means there won't be a big difference in time.

@MrBo7amed100 But why should exceptions be made? I'll tell you why. Because it was bought. Dodgy cunts. No one will be able to walk around with no shirts on, girls certainly wont be able to and they'll be designated drinking areas so you cant walk around without fear of having your hand cut off for drinking in public. Utterly ridiculous decision to have a WORLD cup in a country which really doesn't tolerate the rest of the world.

@3ZOZqTr اخوي الي تتكلم معاه عمره 14 سنة فيعني انه ياهل اهبل

[MrBo7amed100]

@MrChowder469 Oh and I have just checked your account I have noticed that you are 14 years old so you're not allowed to drink. Underage drinking could get you into serious problems.

[MrBo7amed100]

@efcnik Qatar a SMALL country located in the middle east it has ONE city that is Doha, thus ACCEPTIONS were made because they can't have THE WHOLE WORLD CUP IN ONE STADIUM.

[MrBo7amed100]

@MrChowder469 Alright it seems that I have to explain to you how much global warming will increase the temprature. So far in those few 100 years the temprature increased by 1 or 2 degrees C and unill 2050 it will increase by 3 degrees so got the lesson? And I see that you said that you can't drink. You're mixing Qatar up with Saudi Arabia. By now I can tell that you've got to revise your geography. :)

on the other hand hard luck to the Australians and the British even though you have the Olympics next year and congratulation to Russia for 2018 and Qatar for 2022
