The match saw a slow start with no notable chances in the first 20 minutes although Qa- tar had more of the ball.

Qatar hosted a series of major sporting events, including the IAAF World Athletics Championships in September. The year culminated in hosting the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup™ – vital test events on our journey towards delivering the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East in 2022. I am immensely proud of the work that was done to ensure the success of these events. The teams worked incredibly hard, demonstrating commitment and dedication to excellence, and showcasing the capabilities of our country within the region, and across the world. In 2019, we set the bar high. Moving forward, our steadfast commitment is to continuously improve and set new benchmarks for excellence when it comes to hosting major events. One of the more special memories during this hectic year was working alongside so many people who have benefitted from Josoor Institute’s training and development programmes and were leading on projects and contributing to the overall success of these high-profile events. Our vision for Josoor Institute was to serve as a centre of excellence for the sporting, events, and leisure and hospitality industries in our region.
