Leaving a lasting legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 for education, Qatar Foundation (QF) will house two of its schools at the Education City Stadium after the mega event is over, disclosed Khalifa al-Kubaisi, director of Media.
“The Qatar Academy for Science and Technology and Academyati School are to be housed in the Education City Stadium,” he told Gulf Times in reply to a question at the press conference yesterday.
Al-Kubaisi said there will be several events and activities before and during the World Cup within the Education City and will highlight and reflect QF’s efforts at bestowing a lasting legacy of the tournament.
“We will also be launching an Accessibility Guide to support people with disabilities -from and beyond Qatar – to explore the nation during the tournament. The guide, which will be launched before the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, highlighting accessible activities and programmes at QF’s Education City and those available across the country,” continued al-Kubaisi.
“We are developing sensory rooms for the special needs people to experience the World Cup in a better way. There will also be programmes for women as well as workshop among others,” he explained.
From its Ability Friendly sports programme and the platforms it provides for increasing the participation of women and girls in sports, to its role in ensuring the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is accessible to people with disabilities and fostering a culture of volunteering in Qatar, QF is contributing to a sporting and social legacy for Qatar that endures far beyond the tournament. As it invites the community of Qatar and the global community to be part of its celebrations of this milestone in Qatar’s history, QF is aiming to harness the power of sport to amplify the message that accessibility and inclusivity are cornerstones of a strong society, and a united world.
And with the Education City Stadium being a FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 venue, there will be a full lineup of activities on both matchdays and non-matchdays for football fans and the general public alike, with Education City being fully open to everyone at all times.
QF’s support for the World Cup includes helping to make the tournament more accessible for people with disabilities, through partnering with FIFA to provide specialised training for Accessibility Volunteers who will play a key role in ensuring all fans attending the tournament have a welcoming and unforgettable experience. This reflects QF’s commitment to cultivating the spirit of volunteerism across Qatar, a commitment that will continue after the World Cup.
