Fifa Strikes World Cup Deal With Qatar Energy
Football’s global governing body, FIFA, has filled its final global partner slot ahead of the World Cup in 2022 by securing an agreement with QatarEnergy.
QatarEnergy has signed as one of FIFA’s top sponsorshop partners, sitting alongside the likes of Visa and Qatar Airways.
The liquified natural gas provider also partnered with FIFA last year as part of the 2021 Arab Cup in Qatar.
FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, said, “QatarEnergy is joining Fifa in this important FIFA World Cup year, and we are delighted to welcome them, as they share our excitement and enthusiasm for this first World Cup organised in the Arab world. This year’s tournament will expand football’s reach and shine a light on the region, bringing different cultures from across the globe together in Qatar to enjoy the best football in the world in stunning state-of-the-art venues.”
President and Chief Executive of QatarEnergy, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, added,“QatarEnergy is pleased to partner with FIFA again, this time in support of the iconic Fifa World Cup, which will be held in Qatar and the Middle East for the first time ever. This partnership is a reflection of our continued support of various sports activities, and of football in particular as the central attraction of the sporting world.”
FIFA has confirmed there is still one regional sponsor position left for the tournament after recently adding deals with the Crypto.com cryptocurrency exchange platform and educational technology firm Byju’s in that second-tier.
