With just over a month to go until the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023, fan leaders representing the 24 participating nations will be visiting Qatar from 9-11 December as excitement builds ahead of Asia’s biggest football tournament.
The delegation will visit stadiums and explore various tourist sites and cultural attractions to learn more about the wide range of experiences that Qatar has to offer as host country.
"Fans are the beating heart of the tournament. We are excited to welcome our friends from across the continent to showcase the beauty of the country and provide a preview of what fans can expect when they visit Qatar,” said Faisal Khalid, Fan Engagement Senior Manager at the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 Local Organizing Committee (LOC).
Fan leaders play a vital role in informing organizers on how to best deliver the best experience possible. Their involvement provides the LOC with much needed feedback for future sporting events.
