Qatar moved a step closer to hosting another major sporting tournament as it aims to win the right to stage the 2019 World Athletics Championships, the third-largest sports event in the world.
An official delegation representing the Qatar Athletics Federation (QAF) and Qatar Olympic Committee travelled to Monaco this week to attend a seminar at the headquarters of the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) in which the requirements for hosting the athletics event in five years were laid out.
Doha is competing with rival candidate cities Barcelona (Spain) and Eugene (United States of America) to win the right to host the event.
At the two-day event, officials from the three cities were told they would be required to accommodate 13,000 officials, volunteers, accredited broadcasters and media and stage 47 athletics events, which will be broadcast around the world.
