The word “sport” preceded youth, and this in itself is an affirmation of the importance of sport in societies and among peoples. Today, sport is not just running and jogging, but rather thought and protection for the youth who are part of society. Therefore, we find the Qatari approach correct, even if it indicates a dimension and strategy. The appointment of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, Minister of Youth and Sports, has his considerations. The minister’s achievements in the field of sports are many and varied. Since he assumed the presidency of the Qatar Football Association in 2004, and before that, he was head of the technical committee. The game flourished during his reign, as his country organized the 2022 World Cup finals, and the football team achieved many achievements in I was an eyewitness to his era, most notably the Masters gold medal in 2006
22nd Gulf title in Saudi Arabia 2014
The Asian Cup in 2014 and the Asian Cup in 2019
He has deep and strong relations at the Arab and international levels. He is the President of the Gulf Football Federation and the Vice-President of the Arab Football Federation. He has a position in the continental and international federations, and these positions confirm the extent of the great role he has achieved and reached. This appointment and the Emiri decision came before the start of the continental World Cup in a new beginning for the people of Qatar. The appointment is a great support for the architect of the World Cup, “Bou Khalifa”, wishing him success and success in all honesty. He is a man who knows nothing but success. He is calm by nature, rational in his thought, and has human humility. He respects all opinions and points of view, no matter how different they are. Therefore, this new mission came because he is worthy of it. Whoever follows and reads the Qatari press since the decision will find… The extent of love and appreciation that he enjoys. He is a man with “charisma” that made him loved and accepted by everyone. The choice coincided with his family. Qatar was only a candidate to host major tournaments after the previous successes during his reign. “The Minister” had clear fingerprints that were a prominent title for the football achievements that ascended the throne of the Asian continent by crowning Al-Anabi with the Cup championship. The final Asia will enter Friday defending its title, and it will be held on Qatari soil for the third time. Let us not forget his role as he is the man of difficult tasks in managing the files that characterized Doha. The right man is in the right place and a lot is expected from him.. God is behind the intention.
