Doha, Qatar: The FIFA  Arab Cup Qatar 2025 Observation Programme is underway in Qatar, bringing together 55 representatives from football associations from across the world for five days of knowledge sharing and hands-on experience. 

The initiative is organised by the tournament Local Organising Committee (LOC) and the Qatar Football Association, as part of ongoing efforts to share key learnings and insights from Qatar’s extensive experience in hosting mega-sporting events.

Participants in the programme will gain first-hand learnings from LOC operational teams across multiple functional areas, ranging from ticketing to medical, security and marketing rights delivery. This will include visits to key tournament sites, including stadiums, training sites, the Main Media Centre and accreditation centre. 

“We created this programme because federations worldwide have been eager to learn from Qatar’s success in hosting world-class events. Our achievements in sports and entertainment have made us a global reference point, and we’re proud of that. Qatar consistently pushes boundaries to deliver exceptional experiences for fans and athletes alike. Sharing our expertise with industry partners is central to our commitment to building a legacy that extends far beyond any single event, creating sustainable impact across sectors,” said Jassim Al Jassim, CEO, LOC. 

Since hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which was regarded as the best edition of the tournament in its history, Qatar has hosted a number of major sporting events including the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023.
