After years of planning and preparation,

2015 will see Qatar move into the next phase

of development as the country progresses

towards World Cup 2022. In recent reports,

Qatar will begin issuing tenders for

projects in the first quarter of

2015, with five stadiums expected to be in

different stages of construction by the end of

2015. These include the Lusail Iconic Stadium,

Al Wakrah Stadium, Al Rayyan, Education

City and Khalifa International Stadium.

To support healthy communities and promote

sport development, Oman, UAE and Saudi

Arabia are also currently engaged in a series

of projects. These include stadiums, sporting

academies and multi-purpose sporting

venues. Several of these projects are either

underway or scheduled for tender soon. 2015

King Abdulaziz Sport City Stadium in Jeddah,

the handover of Al Ain’s new Hazza bin Zayed
