International Association of Athletics Federations President Sebastian Coe is upbeat about Qatar putting up an innovative and fans-friendly IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 at the Khalifa International Stadium at Aspire Zone.
The 10-day championships, to be hosted in the Middle East region for a first time, will begin on September 27 and come to an end on October 6.
After an IAAF Council brief, Coe said, “Doha looks well prepared to host the IAAF World Athletics Championships. I spoke to Dahlan al Hamad today, my colleague from the Local Organising Committee. My competition team is here and everything is in place.
“Now we are relying on athletes to do what they do really well. I hope that it will be spectacular and excite many more young people, particularly in Qatar, to be athletes,” he added.
“The Doha 2019 team has planned to incorporate many firsts in a bid to make it one of the most memorable experiences for both athletes and fans around the globe. Right from the split evening sessions to the midnight marathons and the mixed relays. From the green cooling technology to the LED lights. From the digital floodlights to delightful telecast moments. Everything is going to have you drop your jaws!”
