The Games were the first in a series of events, followed by the Formula One Grand Prix in 2016 and the Islamic Games in 2017, demonstrating the strength of the local government's commitment to promoting sport, viewed not only as an excellent means of raising the profile of the country internationally, but also of encouraging the population to lead a more active, healthy lifestyle. In order to be awarded the honour of organising the European Games, the government of Azerbaijan dedicated itself to constructing a series of sports facilities of the very highest level, a task that needed to be completed in a very short time, and in compliance with the strict rules imposed by the various sport governing bodies. The result was spectacular, with the creation of awe-inspiring, state-of-the-art sports facilities, boasting striking design features and high-quality materials.

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.
