Doha Prepares 2018 World Cup Bid

Doha is to bid to host the football World Cup in 2018, and could invite neighbouring countries to join in as co-hosts.

Qatar is keen to build its presence on the world sporting stage following the successful hosting of the Asian Games in December. It has already announced that it bid for the 2016 Olympic Games, and has its sights set on the larger undertaking of the World Cup.

"We have a plan. Qatar is trying for the 2018 World Cup," Qatar National Olympic Committee secretary general Shaikh Saoud bin Abulrahman al-Thani said at the MEED Qatar Non-Energy Conference on 23 January.

"If Qatar wins the bid, we'll have more work than the Olympics," he added. "The World Cup is not held in one city, which means we need hotels and stadiums in Al-Khor, Mesaieed, Al-Wakrah and Dukhan."

One alternative could be to jointly host the event with other Gulf countries, although football's governing body FIFA is thought to dislike this option. "The UAE, Qatar and Bahrain could be possible," said Shaikh Saoud. "But after the experience of South Korea and Japan, they [FIFA] are not into that experience again."

In 2004, FIFA rejected a proposal from Libya and Tunisia to co-host the 2010 World Cup. "FIFA's policy is that if there is a viable bid from a single country, that will be given preference," says FIFA head of media Andreas Herren.

One potential challenger for the 2018 World Cup is China.

The bidding process for the 2018 World Cup is scheduled to begin in late 2010. Officials at the Qatar Football Association were unable to confirm that it had begun the process of preparing a formal bid.

Well its not compleatly non-related but it has 2016 olympics and 2018 world cup in the articles

Qatar isn’t going to quit now that the Asian Games has put it ahead

The Asian Games may have been broadcast to over a billion people, but it seems Doha has set its sights on even grander schemes. “We have proved that we are capable of hosting the next sporting event, the Olympics,” said Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, the secretary general of the Qatar National Olympic Chairman (QNOC). “It was the government’s long-term strategy to put Qatar on the world map through sport. To a great extent we’ve achieved that goal by successfully organizing the largest ever Asian Games.”

The International Olympic Committee will launch the bidding process later this year for the 2016 Games with the election due in 2009. The selection criteria are broken down into 11 themes including infrastructure, Olympic Village and safety. Dates are flexible. Having put in a large part of the infrastructure Qatar may have an advantage over its rivals, although a great deal more work on its tourism offering will be needed if it is to convince spectators and judges. “China took two attempts to do it,” said Sheikh Saoud. “We will win it first time.”

Also on its hit list is the soccer World Cup in 2018. In all likelihood, it would probably be unable to hold the event alone. The UAE has indicated its interest, so a joint bid may be the best option. “After 2014, the rotation system ends, so it’s unclear where the World Cup will go,” said a Fifa spokesman.

In the meantime, Qatar’s biggest objective is to propel itself onto the international scene. Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al-Baker will be ensuring the connections are in place and hoping the country does a better job marketing itself than during the Asian Games. “The only thing my country lacks is marketing,” he said. “We are very poor at it. We needed to make people aware by bombarding the media in advance.”

Finances are not a problem. “It isn’t about making money on their investment,” said an official at London based consultancy Sport Business. “The Asian Games cost probably more than $5 billion to stage and I doubt they recouped a fraction of that. It’s more to do with developing the Qatar brand and making sure that a lot of infrastructure was set up a lot faster than in the past.”
