Gabriel Batistuta And Ronald De Boer Join Qatar's 2022 World Cup Team
The Qatar 2022 World Cup bid committee has named two former World Cup stars, Argentina’s Gabriel Omar Batistuta and Holland’s Ronald de Boer, as new bid ambassadors.
Batistuta is the all-time leading goal-scorer for Argentina and represented his country at three World Cup finals, while de Boer played in two World Cup finals for the Netherlands and won the UEFA Champions League in a sparkling club career.
Both players also played for clubs in Qatar. Commenting on his appointment, Batistuta said: “It is a great pleasure for me to take on this important role as bid ambassador for the Qatar 2022 Bid, which I believe represents an essential expansion of the FIFA ideals to a new part of the world.
"Having played in USA in 1994, in France in 1998, as well as the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan – the first on the Asian continent – I have witnessed the excitement and passion unleashed in those different parts of the world.
"From my playing experience in Qatar I know that it is a country and a region which will host a spectacular and passionate World Cup in 2022. It is this message which I want to bring to the world in this exciting new role: here is an exciting new football market waiting to be uncovered.”
De Boer said: “It is a great honour for me to be appointed as a member of such an exciting and innovative bid. I truly believe it is time for the World Cup to come to the Middle East for the first time ever, so I am thrilled to be asked to become an ambassador for this campaign.
"I believe this is a historic opportunity for the country where I played four years of my professional career and the rest of the world to unite in a peaceful and family-orientated celebration of football, and this is the message I will be bringing in my new role over the coming 12 months.”
He added: “Judging from my experience playing at World Cup finals and other top events – and from my experience living in Qatar for more than five years – I believe Qatar has all the qualities to host a fantastic and unforgettable World Cup.
"The country has the outstanding sporting facilities needed to host the world’s greatest football tournament, the region-wide passion for the game, and it brings to the mix an exceptionally hospitable nature which has made me decide to stay on in Qatar even after my playing career finished.”

NEWS in BRIEF: Qatar stresses on need for global
Geneva: Qatar has stressed the need for a global agreement on the issue of environment and climate change to be reached outside the framework of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and underscored the importance of developing the efficiency and performance of the WTO and its activities.
This came in a speech given by the Minister of State for International Cooperation and Acting Minister of Business and Trade, H E Dr Khalid bin Mohammed Al Attiyah, before the Seventh Session of the WTO Ministerial Conference in Geneva.
The Minister said that in order to achieve this goal which is the development of efficiency and performance of the organisation efforts must be based on the WTO’s basic principles (full participation, inclusiveness and transparency). Dr Al Attiyah called on the WTO to ensure the participation of all states in the activities of the organisation, pointing out that there are many countries that their membership are still being discussed, including seven Arab countries.
He also stressed the need for the adoption of Arabic language as one of the official languages used in the World Trade Organisation. With regard to the Doha Round, he said that Qatar is renewing and reaffirming the desire and support to end the round of negotiations, named after the Qatari capital.
He said that the Emir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani had earlier called on the international community to embrace natural gas and clean technology as support of economic, social and environmental development.

Qatar Tourism Authority attracts significant interest in Europe
Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) is drawing significant interest among buyers and travel professionals in the meetings, incentive, convention and exhibition (MICE) industry at the Global Meetings and Incentive Exhibition (EIBTM) in Barcelona.
EIBTM is the leading global event for the meetings and incentive industry, with over 3,300 exhibiting companies representing more than 80 countries presenting to 3,800 hosted buyers from 71 countries and more than 6,300 pre-registered trade visitors at this year's event.
Ms. Soha Moussa, Head of Promotions and Organizing Abroad Exhibitions for QTA described its participation in EIBTM as very successful, saying,
"Despite the current financial and economic environment, we have had some very good meetings with serious buyers at EIBTM. The buyers are high quality and are very focused. They know what they want and are asking very specific questions about organizing itineraries as well as venue and convention facility details. They are interested in Qatar as a new venue to consider for their events. Qatar offers a high quality destination with new state-of-the-art facilities, while preserving our unique Qatari culture and traditions."
In addition to pre-scheduled one-on-one appointments, Qatar Tourism Authority has been presenting Qatar to buyers and trade professionals during several group destination presentations.
"We are looking to arrange incentive trips to the Middle East, with something different in terms of activities to do and sights to see," says Ms. Linda Benwell, Managing Director of Millennium Travel, South Africa. "Since Qatar Airways flies direct to Doha from Johannesburg, organizing a stopover in Qatar for a few days, then on to Europe for example, makes it very convenient for planning an incentive trip."
Michael Bramsnas is the CEO and owner of The Competence Company (TCC) in Denmark. "We organize international business events for our clients from Denmark. After meeting with representatives from Qatar Tourism Authority at EIBTM, we are pleased with the wide range of what Qatar has to offer in terms of venues and facilities - from the hotels and convention centers to the museum."
Corporate event planners were also interested in Qatar as a 'new' destination venue for hosting events. Georgia Challis, Assistant Vice President, is in charge of Conferences and Events for Deutsche Bank. "I am here at EIBTM searching for some new venue ideas. Space and amenities are very important to me." Other corporate event planners were specific about hotel prerequisites for their events, and Qatar's broad range of quality hotels which adhere to strict facilities requirements "will meet their needs."
QTA and its co-exhibitors have had a steady flow of visitors to the pavilion. Ms. Diana Rizk, Events Supervisor for the Museum of Islamic Art commented: "We are very pleased with the meetings we have had. The buyers are interested in the Museum as a venue for dinners and other events, and are also interested in tours and the workshops as part of a daily activities itinerary."
Qatar Tourism Authority is showcasing the exceptional character of Qatar with the cooperation of hospitality and leisure companies representing the examples of high-quality standards Qatar has achieved to become an upscale MICE destination, including the Qatar National Convention Center, the Museum of Islamic Art and representatives from several luxury hotels and the top tour operators in Qatar.

Tata Communications, Qatari co in pact for undersea cable
Mumbai Tata Communications has signed an agreement with the Qatar-based Qtel for a new undersea cable network that will connect a number of regional operators in the Gulf region with the country.
“The enhanced capacity provided by this new cabling solution will help ensure rapid growth of broadband services across Qatar,” Qtel chief executive officer Nasser Marafih said here today in a release.
This cable system would connect the Gulf Region with the world’s major business hubs and city centres thus improving connectivity and providing the foundations for next generation communication technology, he added.
Total length of the cable system within the Gulf region would stretch some 4,469 km, reaching from Mumbai to Oman and onto Kuwait and would connect Tata Communications’ global cable and backhaul network.
“This partnership is designed to create mutual benefit, which will multiply steadily as we use the foundation of the TGN Gulf cable system to develop additional network and IT services that address growing market needs,” Tata Communications president and COO Vinod Kumar said.
Through the TGN-Gulf cable system, Qatar would have access to high-speed global routing that would encourage expansion in broadband penetration, Internet usage, enterprise applications and will give faster and more reliable bandwidth.
Building and installing the global submarine cable would take around 22 months, Qtel said in a statement.
In addition to Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and UAE will be connected to TGN Gulf Cable in the initial phase.
Subsequently, in the second phase other Gulf countries will be conjoined.
Earlier also Qtel and Tata Communications had worked together. In June 2009, the two companies had agreed to align their infrastructures to provide various connectivity solutions including Ethernet, MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) to their global customers.
