Ambassador of Italy to Qatar, Pasquale Salzano said in an interview released to “The Peninsula“: “The 2022 FIFA World Cup represents a great achievement for the State of Qatar, which comes in recognition of the emergent role played by the country in the field of sport. Doha has become an important hub in the Middle East and Gulf region for hosting international sport competitions due to its excellent facilities and stadiums and for the very friendly and welcoming approach of its people.”
He added: “I am sure that the World Cup will be particularly successful, not only for the perfect organization and its beautiful framework, but also for the cultural message that from Doha will be spread around the world. Qatar, like Italy, strongly believes that sport can really benefit the society with a positive influence on lifestyle and the promotion of high moral values.”
“This event represents also a big challenge and a great opportunity at the same time, as hundreds of thousands of tourists and fans will come to Doha from everywhere to cheer for their national teams. For the Region it will be an extraordinary achievement and an occasion to create a common land of mutual understanding and solid links with people from every part of the world. Heartfelt congratulations to Qatari friends for receiving the mantle of hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup and good luck,” he concluded.
