In the intervening years, Qatar has grown into a major sporting hub, attracting international events such as the World Indoor Athletics Championships, the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup, the 24th Men’s Handball World Championship, and the AIBA World Boxing Championship. With ever-more prestigious international events on the horizon, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 2023 FINA World Championships, sport continues to play a pivotal role in and around Qatar, while greatly contributing to the country’s infrastructural development. The sports sector delivers many local and international benefits, which are allowing Qatar to strengthen relations with nations worldwide. And, in an effort to consolidate the country’s commitment to the sporting industry, a Sports Sector Strategy (SSS) was developed as one of the 14-sector strategies within the Qatar National Vision 2030. Given the strategic importance of sports to Qatar’s economy, the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) developed for the very first time since its establishment this study as an insightful overview into the nation’s sporting ecosystem, highlighting its flourishing business opportunities.

  • A History of Doha and Bidda
    A History of Doha and Bidda Historical references to Doha and Bidda before 1850 1681: First mention of Bidda (now part of Doha) Bidda was the first part of Doha to be founded, and was later absorbed into the larger town of Doha, which originally began as a separate settlement. The first possible mention of Bidda is in the records of the Carmelite Convent, which refers to a sheikh and fortress at “Bide”. Mentioned after Zubara in a list of place names going round the coast of Qatar, it is in the correct position to refer to Bidda. Billecocq, X.B. (2010) Le Qatar Et Les Francais. Paris: Collections Relations Internationales & Culture. 1765: Carsten Niebuhr’s map Carsten Niebuhr, the sole survivor of an ill‐fated six year journey across the Middle East, was one of the first western explorers to visit the Arabian peninsula. Niebuhr’s map of the Gulf produced in 1765 shows the towns of “Huale” (Huwaila) “Yusofie” (Yusufiya) and “Faraha” (Freiha), “Adsjar” (possibly al Khor) as well as “Gattar” (probably Bidda). However, the area of Qatar is not accurately portrayed and the sites are in the wrong order on the coast. It is thought that Niebuhr did not visit Qatar but based his map on second‐hand information from local Arabs and English sea captains. Carter, R. (2012) Sea of Pearls. Seven Thousand Years of the Industry that Shaped the Gulf. London: Arabian Publishing. 1 Origins of Doha Project - originsofdoha.wordpress.com Carsten Niebuhr's Map of the Gulf 1801: First description and first British attempt to attack Bidda David Seton, the British representative in Muscat from 1800‐1809, sailed to Bidda with the ruler of Oman, and provided the first description of the town and its defences.
