QPC President

Doha, The Gulf Observer: President of Qatar Press Center (QPC), Saad bin Mohammed Al Rumaihi, emphasizes that Qatar’s hosting of the Asian Cup from January 12 to February 10 for the third time underscores the nation’s esteemed standing in the regional and international sports arena. In a statement to QNA, Al Rumaihi highlights Qatar’s global recognition for organizing major sporting events, demonstrating its success at both organizational and sporting levels.

Qatar’s distinction lies in being the sole Asian country to host the Asian Cup three times, in 1988, 2011, and 2023. Reflecting on the 1988 edition, where Al Rumaihi served as the head of the media committee, he regards it as one of the most successful continental tournaments.

The event garnered exceptional media coverage, marked by unprecedented success in marketing and substantial financial revenues, setting a benchmark in the Gulf and Asia.
