“We were able to immediately close two deals with local distributors and are confident that more will come between now and Thursday.”

“Day one offered excellent exposure as we grow and deepen our roots in Qatar,” said Shery Adel, general manager of Stadia Qatar, key local exhibitor and Platinum Sponsor of Project Qatar.

“Our main objective is to maintain our position in the Mena region as being the pioneer and leader in Sports and Leisure Infrastructure. In preparation and anticipation of the Fifa World Cup 2022, the face time with industry insiders and decision makers we get at this show is a critical piece of our growth strategy.”
