Any idea where to get tickets for this match?

Looking forward to a ‘great match’

The England versus Brazil football match which is scheduled to take place in Doha on November 14, offers the opportunity for Qatar to prove its sporting excellence and strengthen its bid for the 2022 World Cup bid, according to British Ambassador John Hawkins.
He added that the match would further develop bilateral relations between the UK and Qatar, and will also give the English fans the chance to promote the hosting of the World Cup in England in 2018.
“We were delighted to hear about the match from the very beginning,” said Hawkins, adding that he was expecting around 2,000 fans from England to visit for the match, along with several thousand from around the Gulf.

Qatar Living behind Qatar 2022 - Go Qatar!

By qatari on Sun, 04/10/2009 - 9:00am

Rio de Janeiro's successful bid to host the 2016 Olympics looks like a sign for Qatar. It was only last June that Doha's bid for the Olympics was turned down by the IOC (even though some argue that the Qatar bid itself was better).

All the Olympic buzz placed Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid as ahead of Rio as favourites for the 2016 Olypmics. But less than a year later, Rio came up on top.

Qatar can certainly take heart from this. Qatar now has a dream to host the football World Cup in 2022.

If it happens, it will be the first time the World Cup travels to the Middle East and Qatar will become the first Arab country to host this prestigious event.

The road ahead is not easy and is difficult even for the biggest countries. But with the unwavering support and commitment to sport that Qatar has shown, even the impossible looks more doable.

Qatar Living has been tracking the growth of Qatar since 2005 and are fully behind the Qatar 2022 bid! We support the dream and bid for the 2022 World Cup!

We're proud to announce our unwavering support to the country's World Cup bid at the exact moment the Qatar 2022 bid website goes live.

Stand up, Qatar, look the world in the eye, take a bow and make us all proud!
