With a population of 907,000, Qatar in the Arabian Gulf is well used to boxing way beyond its weight. The Country successfully hosted the 15th Asian Games last December. An investment of $2.8 billion in infrastructure and sports facilities in the capital city of Doha set very high standards. With 9520 athletes from 45 Nations participating in 39 sports and 418 events, all agreed that this was the best Asian Games ever. Doha acted as a flag bearer for the whole region. Never before had a Middle Eastern country staged anything on this scale. Any visitor to the region should take time to see the world’s largest purpose built indoor sports dome in Doha which will eventually accommodate 1,000 students.
