Let us pray to the almighty Lord to keep all of us safe & healthy. It is said prayer  is powerful and that’s what GCQ students start each of their practice sessions with a word of prayer. 

The great gusto with which teams cry out “GCQ CHALLENGERS!” before the start of every match, pumps that extra strength in them. Keep working hard. Let the GCQ Challengers saga continue… 

The blessings are Sweetest that are Won with Prayers and Worn with thanks…

Qatar Football Association (QFA) and FIFA have announced plans to deliver a pan-Arab tournament that will be played in the Gulf state in late 2021, with the competition acting as a crucial preparatory event for the FIFA World Cup 2022" that kicks off on 21 November 2022.

The competition proposal was presented to FIFA Council members via videoconference by H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) and Chairman of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 LLC (Q22). The FIFA Council subsequently approved the formation of the competition.

The 22-team invitational tournament for men's national teams will be contested by Arab nations from Africa and Asia. It will be played outside the International Match Calendar. The tournament, which will be held in Qatar from 1-18 December 2021, will be delivered by 022 and will allow the organisers to use facilities and run operations that are also planned for the subsequent FIFA World Cup 2022"

The tournament will take place during the same timeslot as the FIFA World Cup 2022TM, with the final taking place exactly one year before the Qatar 2022 final is scheduled to kick-off.

All tournament matches will be played at Qatar 2022 stadiums. In addition to utilising Qatar 2022 stadiums and training sites, the tournament will provide a vital opportunity for fans, players and officials to use host country facilities, including transport and accommodation.

President of the QFA, H.E. Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Bin Ahmad Al Thani, said: "This is an exciting moment for Qatar and football fans across the region and around the world. This new pan-Arab tournament will see teams from across the region go head-to-head in state-of-the-art FIFA World Cup venues and allow teams and fans to experience Qatar as a tournament host country.

This tournament marks an important footballing milestone for the country and the region, and everyone involved in delivering it will gain more essential experience ahead of the Qatar World Cup."

Al Thawadi said: "This exciting tournament will act as a perfect preparatory event for Qatar ahead of the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world.

"Qatar has hosted many events since it was awarded the World Cup hosting rights back in 2010, but this will be our biggest yet and it will prove essential in utilising facilities and services ahead of 2022. The tournament is also being held at exactly the same time as the World Cup, meaning fans, players and officials will get a taste of what's to come in 2022.

 "The creation of this pan-Arab tournament reinforces our longstanding commitment that the FIFA World Cup 2022 will be a tournament that benefits the entire Arab world, one that showcases the beauty of the region and the immense passion that exists for the game."

Full details of tournament participants, along with the match schedule, will be shared in due course. The delivery of the event will be led by 022 staff, supported by the OFA, FIFA and the SC.

The first step towards the resumption of football in Qatar was held on Monday and will continue on Tuesday wherein players and officials from 12 teams of the QNB Qatar Stars League (QSL) underwent Covid-19 tests under the supervision of Ministry of Public Health at the Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Stadium in Al Sadd.

The testing procedure aims to reduce and control the risk of virus spreading between team members and players, as they return to training and action. It follows all preventive and precautionary measures.

A number of players as well as technical and administrative staff underwent the tests on the first day. After completion of tests, they will return to their homes under self-quarantine until the test results come.

In the event of a positive case, he will undergo the procedures of Ministry of Public Health.

Ensuring the health and safety of players as well as technical and administrative staff is one of the most important priorities, Ahmed Khellil Abbassi, Executive Director of Competition and Football Development had said earlier.

"Players will return to training on June 10 following COVID-19 tests before undergoing another round of tests on June 24-25," Abbasi said.

According to Abbasi, the players will start training as a team from June 25 onwards, a month ahead of the resumption of the QSL as Week 18 action of the League kicks off on July 24

The players and team officials who test negative will then check into a team hotel on Wednesday. The first phase of the training will be held from Wednesday June 10 to June 24, with teams taking precautionary measures and maintaining social distancing. The second round of Covid-19 tests is scheduled for June 24 and 25, from when the teams will train in small groups until the restart of the league.

The protocol developed by the QSL is to reduce and control the risk of virus spreading between team members and players, as they return to training and action. It follows all preventive and precautionary measures, and a workshop was organised for all technical staff involved to explain the procedures for training during the first phase.

The QSL will resume on July 24 at the newly-completed Education City Stadium with Qatar Sports Club taking on Al Rayyan in the Round 18 fixture.

Education City Stadium, one of the venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, will play host to remaining five rounds of QNB Stars League along with two other arenas – Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium and Al Janoub Stadium. All three stadiums possess the cooling technology, which will help the players cope with the searing temperatures. The kick-off times for the matches would be 4:45pm and 7pm.

“Yes, air-conditioned stadiums will be used after co-ordination and co-operation with the Ministry of Culture and Sports and Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy,” Abbassi said.

Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) last week announced that building works inside the Education City Stadium have ended whereas installation of stadium envelope, seats, arch finishes and roof structure has also been completed.
