  • Qatar Hold Saudi in Gulf CUP OPENER
    SPORTS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014 Honda-powered Japan hammer Honduras 6-0 TOYOTA: Talisman Keisuke Honda provided the thrust as Japan overpowered Honduras 6-0 yesterday to relieve some of the pressure on coach Javier Aguirre. Honda scored once, set up three more and was by far Japan’s most dangerous player in a lopsided game between two teams who flopped badly at the World Cup in Brazil earlier this year. “We played a complete game today,” Aguirre told Japan’s TV Asahi. “We’re building for the Asian Cup in January and obviously we will be going there to win it. We showed excellent bal- ance tonight and brought joy to the fans.” Aguirre abandoned the tinkering that contributed to an alarming run of form in the Mexican’s first four matches in charge, naming 10 of Japan’s World Cup squad among his starting eleven in Toyota. And it took the Asian champions just nine minutes to open their account, defender Maya Yoshida stoop- ing to head into an empty net after a wicked corner from dead-ball specialist Yasuhito Endo. Endo, discard- ed by Aguirre since the former Espanyol manager took over from Italian Alberto Zaccheroni following the World Cup, marked his return with a superb goal as he extended his record number of Japan caps to 147.

  • Katar Tudatos Építkezése a Sport Területén
    Katar tudatos építkezése a sport területén Korábbi elemzésünkben ígértük, hogy a Távol-Kelet mellett Katar sportstratégiájáról is részletesebben írni fogunk. A Perzsa-öböl félszigetén található állam az elmúlt évtizedben a sportba fektetett elképesztő mértékű pénz miatt vált ismertté, bizonyos szempontból pedig egyenesen hírhedtté. Az első pillantásra eszetlennek tűnő, az elképesztő gazdaságot adó olajkincsek által biztosított kiadások mögött azonban nagyon is tudatos stratégia húzódik meg, amely megvalósítása évtizedek óta zajlik. Majd ahogy az lenni szokott, a látványos sikerek félelmet és irigységet váltottak ki, ami több más konfliktussal összefonódva igen komoly diplomáciai vihart okozott. Katar stratégiájának elemzése így számos érdekes tanulsággal szolgálhat, a konfliktusok ellenére pedig a sportvilágban továbbra is az egyik legfontosabb szereplőként kell számolni a dúsgazdag emírséggel a következő évtizedben. A sport nemzet- és államépítési folyamatba helyezése Az egykor brit védnökség alatt álló Katar 1971. szeptember 3-án vált függetlenné. Az 1972-ben hatalomra kerülő Hamad Al-Thani emír átfogó infrastrukturális fejlesztéseket hajtott végre, amelyek pénzügyi fedezetét az államosított kőolaj és földgáz biztosította. A fejlődés mértékét jól szimbolizálja, hogy Katar lakossága az 1970-es évek elején még 150 ezer fő volt, 2016-ra viszont megközelítette a 2,5 milliót. A növekedést jelentős részben a beruházások miatt érkező vendégmunkások generálták, ugyanis a fejlesztések olyan jelentős munkaerőigénnyel bírtak, ami messze meghaladta az ország lehetőségeit. A vendégmunkások gyorsan és drasztikusan alakították át az ország lakosságát és arculatát. A fejlesztések első számú nyertese a főváros, Doha lett, ahol többek között új kórház, egyetem, állami TV épült és jelentősen fejlődött a szolgáltató szektor is (ekkor épült például az első új luxus hotel a városban). Luis Henrique Rolim Silva 2014-es cikke részletesen bemutatja, hogy ezzel párhuzamosan miként zajlott az országban a sport felhasználásával felülről szervezett és irányított nemzetépítési kísérlet.
