The Williams Formula 1 team has lent its support to Qatar’s bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
Team boss Frank Williams attended the Aspire 4 Sport Congress in Doha last week, where he met Hassan Al Thawadi, chief executive of the Qatar bid committee.
Williams said: “Our future is now inextricably linked with Qatar. Following our investment in the Williams Technology Centre at the Qatar Science & Technology Park, we feel it is important to support Qatar in its emergence as an international sporting destination and in their innovative and compelling bid to stage the 2022 World Cup.
“We also believe that it is right to bring the World Cup to the Middle East and Qatar certainly is capable of hosting a wonderful event. Holding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will also create a long-term legacy in the region on many different fronts.”
