Doha: President of World Taekwondo Dr. Chungwon Choue expressed confidence in Qatar’s capability to host the 2036 Summer Olympic Games, citing its “success and distinction in hosting major sporting events.”
“Qatar has great expertise in hosting major events, especially the Asian Games, which it hosted in 2006, and the FIFA World Cup 2022,” Dr. Choue said in an interview with Qatar News Agency (QNA).
He reflected on his first visit to Qatar in 2006, during the Asian Games, and noted, “I was impressed by the excellent organisation. The games were highly successful by all standards.”
Dr. Choue, who is also the chairman of Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation, praised Qatar's “outstanding and exceptional” organisation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“It was the event that was widely praised. Qatar has demonstrated it is more than capable of hosting an event of the Olympic Games’ scale,” he said.
