Cairo: Arab League (AL) praised yesterday the distinct organisation of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and confirmed that the tournament is a response to those who are sceptical of the ability of an Arab state to organise such a global sporting event.

This came in the General-Secretariat of Arab League’s speech delivered by the Director of the Economic Integration Department at the Arab League Dr. Bahjat Abul-Nasr in the opening session of the 25th meeting of the Executive Office of the Arab Ministerial Council for Tourism.

Dr. Abul-Nasr extended congratulations to the State of Qatar for the distinct organisation of the World Cup, which is considered a response to those who are sceptical of the ability of an Arab state to organise such an important global event.

The events of the conference kicked off yesterday and will run for two days at the headquarters of the Arab League with the participation of a delegation from Qatar headed by the Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the Arab League H E Ambassador Salem Mubarak Al Shafi.
