DOHA: The friendly between French champions PSG and Spanish giants Real Madrid is a sell-out, organizers said on Monday. The match between the two will take place in Doha on January 2 at the 50,000-capacity Khalifa Stadium. QFA Vice President Saoud Al-Mohannadi said: 'This really is what football is all about – the love of the game. The passion, the excitement and the togetherness. Football is renowned for uniting people of all ages and nationality. This match is most certainly going to be spectacular on the pitch and even more so in the stands.' Al Mohannadi said: 'The atmosphere will be electric. The QFA would also like to thank and acknowledge the great team effort and support of some of the key match partners, QTA, Ooredoo and QNB, and of course Paris Saint-Germain who have played a fantastic role in supporting the promotion of this friendly game.' PSG, who won the French title last year, is bank-rolled by Qatar.
