After hosting the best-ever FIFA World Cup last year, Qatar is setting sights on hosting the unique version of the Asian Games in 2030. The country’s state-of-the-art infrastructure and rich experience in hosting mega events with unprecedented success assure an exceptional edition of the multi-sport event.
The Organising Committee for Doha 2030 has kicked off preparations for hosting the Asian spectacle following the Amiri Decision No 13 of 2023 and the event is expected to set new benchmarks – not to forget the blockbuster Qatar 2022.
The best part of the Asian Games 2030 is there would be no need to build any new or unplanned permanent venues to host the Games. Successfully hosting the Asian Games in 2006 coupled with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, has served as a catalyst for sport development in Qatar and has contributed to positive change throughout the country. At the heart of this, is the high-tech sporting infrastructure that has already been built.
This sustainable model will allow Qatar to fully focus on providing the best possible experience for the athletes and fans during the Asian Games in 2030.
Qatar has a proven track-record in delivering sporting events of the highest quality at its venues. The legacy of Doha 2006 has resulted in the city hosting game-changing sports events that have benefited the whole of Asia.
In the past 15 years alone, Qatar has hosted more than 500 major international sports events, conferences, and training camps. From the 2019 IAAF World Championships and inaugural ANOC World Beach Games, to the FIFA World Cup, Doha has the expertise and experience to provide both certainty now and a sustainable blueprint for future host cities. Qatar has shown itself to be a reliable partner to the Olympic Council of Asia and many International and Asian Federations.
Doha 2030 will be a landmark edition as it will provide investment opportunities for the development of athletes and NOCs ahead of the Asian Games ensuring the best possible performances of all nations at the event. Doha 2030 will truly be a gateway to a brighter future for Asian sport.
The Asian Games will include competitions in 40 sports with several new disciplines to be included. More than 10,000 male and female athletes will compete in the Asian Games. The Doha 2030 coincides with the 80 years since the first version was held in New Delhi, India in 1951. Qatar dazzled athletes and fans with outstanding organisation at the 2006 Asian Games but the bar will certainly be raised when the continental sports gala returns to the country.
