  • Save the Dream and Qatar Stars League Join Forces to Promote Sport Values on Matchday 26
    Save the Dream and Qatar Stars League join forces to promote sport values on matchday 26 15 April 2017; Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Stars League took on extra significance this week as the QSL joined forces with Save the Dream to highlight the importance of promoting and protecting the values of sport for young people. Alongside various inspirational films of Save the Dream projects that were shown across QSL stadia on final match day of the 2016/17 season, children and young athletes from the International School of London and Birla School wore special Save the Dream jerseys and shared a symbolic moment with players from Lekhwiya and Al Shahania as they entered the stadium together to underline the powerful and uniting role of sport. Following the conclusion of the match, Lekhwiya lifted the QSL Falcon Shield as Champions of the 2016/2017 season. As a global non-profit Movement of organisations, people and athletes who believe in the power of sport to build more fair and inclusive societies, Save the Dream is committed to promoting and protecting the core values of sport to help young people and future generations and using sport as a vehicle to encourage integrity, respect and inclusion within society. Since Save the Dream was established in 2012, the QSL and Qatar football community has strongly supported various social projects run in Qatar by Save the Dream, including recently hosting a special blind football match on National Sport Day 2017 which featured several high-profile players from Al Sadd SC. Mr Hani Taleb Ballan, CEO, QSL said: “The QSL is excited to see how organisations like Save the Dream are proactively working to spread the values of sport in Qatar and around the world and are helping to bring sport where it is most needed.

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.
