INCHEON: Asia’s Olympics boss said Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup was a ‘foregone conclusion’ – and also backed the Gulf state to hold the Olympic Games. Sheikh Ahmad Al Fahad Al Sabah, head of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), defended Qatar after a FIFA executive committee member said Qatar would lose its World Cup hosting rights. “Qatar has completed the process and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is a foregone conclusion,” the Kuwaiti told a Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) reception at the Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea. The comment comes after FIFA executive member Theo Zwanziger told a German newspaper that the World Cup would not be held in Qatar because of its sizzling summer weather. FIFA’s ethic committee will in coming months announce the results of its investigation into the bid process for the 2022 World Cup and the 2018 edition which went to Russia. Sheikh Ahmad also said Doha, which failed in its bids to host both the 2016 and the 2020 Olympics, would be a strong candidate to host the Games in future. “I’m sure Doha can win the Olympics in future with determination and the will of its leadership that strongly supports sports development,” he said.
