  • Beitar and Beyond: the United Arab Emirates and Qatar’S Use of Football As Soft Power
    POLICY OUTLOOK POLICY OUTLOOK DISCUSSION PAPER Beitar and Beyond: The United Arab Emirates and Qatar’s use of Football as Soft Power Anna Murphy (Howard Walker - Anadolu Agency) In 2008, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, formed the City Football Group as a branch of the private investment and development company known as the Abu Dhabi United Group to facilitate the purchase of English football team Manchester City F.C.. In 2012, Qatar Sports Investments, a subsidiary of the Qatar sovereign wealth fund, purchased the French team Paris Saint-Germain. In the decade since these acquisitions, Manchester City and PSG have become fascinating and lucrative examples of soft power for the two Gulf states. In September of 2020, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, a lesser-known member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, purchased a 50 per cent stake in Beitar Jerusalem F.C, an Israeli football team. This investment has shed light on the shifting economic relations between Israel and the UAE and highlighted the unique influence of football in Israeli politics. This policy outlook examines the UAE and Qatar’s investment in football clubs in Europe and Israel as two distinct and developing modes of soft power. The opinions expressed in this policy outlook represent the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the TRT World Research Centre. POLICY OUTLOOK been granted greater recent attention concerning both the Background UAE’s involvement in the war in Yemen and Qatar’s treat- The team that currently sits atop the English Premier ment of workers involved in the preparation for the 2022 League, Manchester City, has been lauded as one of the World Cup.

Marinos, today announced a partnership with a consortium of high profile Chinese institutional investors led by China’s leading media, entertainment, sports and Internet dedicated investment and operating company CMC (China Media Capital) Holdings. The deal will create an unprecedented platform for the growth of CFG clubs and companies in China and internationally, borne out of CFG’s ability to provide a wealth of industry expertise and resources to the rapidly developing Chinese football industry.

  • From City Branding to E-Brands in Developing Countries: an Approach to Qatar and Abu Dhabi
    African Journal of Business Management Vol. 5(12), pp. 4731-4745, 18 June, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJBM DOI: 10.5897/AJBM10.533 ISSN 1993-8233 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper From city branding to e-brands in developing countries: An approach to Qatar and Abu Dhabi Hanan Hazime Faculty of Economics, University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +34 654966711. Accepted 3 December, 2010 The United Arab Emirates and Qatar both lack natural attractions, their system of governance is almost identical and their efforts at diversification are very similar. For this reasons, in order to compete with the rest of the world, the gulf countries are developing an assertive branding strategy focused on tourism targets, aviation, real estate and high class events and exhibitions in order to put their capitals (Abu-Dhabi and Doha) on the world tourism map. The key element in a successful branding strategy is not reflected by just the ambitious projects that Abu-Dhabi and Qatar are developing but it is, in fact, their image and their reputation that differentiate them from their neighbours. The focus of the present study is to shed light on the key factors featuring in the strategic branding of Abu Dhabi and Qatar by analysing their ways of practising branding as well as analysis of the leading news topics concerning Abu-Dhabi and Qatar in Google News for the year 2009. The aim of this work is to see whether these factors are sufficient for the creation of a distinctive brand.
