Ambassadors of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) Mohammed Saadoun Al Kuwari and Wael Gomaa on Tuesday praised the distinguished organizational success of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020 in Doha, under the current coronavirus pandemic crisis, terming it a good introduction and an important step on the road to host the World Cup 2022 that will be held for the first time in the Arab world and the Middle East.
In an open online conversation with the media, Al Kuwari said that hosting the champions of the six continents and holding the FIFA Club World Cup competitions under these current circumstances is a great challenge, especially in light of the world’s exposure to a second wave of the pandemic, and as the majority of the big leagues on the European continent are held without public attendance.
He added that Qatar has been very successful in organizing the tournament and has sent an important message to the world regarding its readiness to host the World Cup 2022, as it operated and tested two new World Cup stadiums, namely Ahmad Bin Ali and Education City stadiums, highlighting Qatar’s great capabilities in hosting any sporting event.
The SC Ambassador Al Kuwari noted the paradigm shift that Qatar is experiencing in the infrastructure and sports facilities in preparation for the World Cup which will be a legacy for the Arab region in general, pointing out that with regard to the stadiums, four stadiums have been opened and operated, namely Khalifa International, Ahmad Bin Ali, Al Janoub, and Education City, as Al Bayt stadium is completed and construction works are completed by 90% at Al Thumama, Lusail and Ras Abu Aboud stadiums.
On his part, SC Ambassador Wael Gomaa said that the Club World Cup is an entertainment and honorary event for the club champions, rejecting the idea of holding the tournament with 24 teams, especially since the international agenda is crowded and will not allow a tournament of this size.
Jumaa also noted the great difference in levels as well as technical differences between Arab clubs and their European counterparts, stressing it is difficult for Arab representative in the Club World Cup or any other Arab team to defeat the European team participating in this tournament, which is expected to win the title.
Gomaa praised the distinguished organization of the Club World Cup in Qatar for the second edition in a row, especially under the current pandemic conditions, indicating that the health system in Qatar dealt with this exceptional situation in a distinctive way through the health bubble that included all the participants of the tournament: players, officials, administrators, escorts and fans.
Gomaa said the remarkable success in organizing the FIFA Club World Cup is a new step in the road to organize a historic World Cup in 2022 and provide all World Cup visitors with an exceptional experience, pointing out that Qatar has left nothing to chance, especially in light of the distinctive infrastructure, luxurious tournament facilities as well as stadiums that are in close proximity to one another, which will allow fans to attend more than one match on the same day, a feature that cannot be found in any previous tournament.
