Home World Qatar eyes future bid for Summer Olympics Official suggests Qatar will have the necessary infrastructure after 2022 by Robert Anderson February 9, 2016 Qatar could bid for the Summer Olympics in the near future, a member of the country’s Olympic committee has said. AFP news agency quoted Thani Al Kuwari as saying the country had a vision and target to host the games. Qatar is already hosting both the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 2019 World Athletics Championships. “All the facilities are going to be ready for everything, especially after 2022, the facilities almost 99 per cent are ready,” Al Kuwari said. He suggested the country could look to host the 2028 Olympic games, but did not outline any definitive plans. The emirate would likely have to come to a similar compromise to the world cup if it were to win an Olympic bid. Last year, football governing body FIFA approved a winter date for the 2022 tournament after Doha’s 50 degrees Celcius summer temperatures were deemed too extreme.
