Is Government interested to build a CRICKET STADIUM in Qatar or not??
.
I do see alot of Cricket crazy fans and players in Qatar but no stadium like (Dubai,AbuDhabi & sharjah) has been built in Qatar for the last many decades.
.
Any updates guys????
I need exact location of CRICKET STADIUM (if any) in Qatar. So I can see it by my own eyes and be proud of it that atleast we do have a cricket stadium in Qatar
but its not really a game the Qataris are into. You wouldn't spend your money on something that doesn't interest you. Maybe they will do it for financial reasons but not personal ones.
Lucky Luciano....or the year after the next....but it will soon host...(could be because of terrorist activity in other countries).
Dubai Sports City’s cricket stadium will be the first of four stadiums
A 60,000 capacity multi-purpose stadium for football, track and field, and rugby;
a field Hockey Stadium capable of holding up to 5,000 spectators, and
an indoor arena that will house 10,000 supporters for a wide range of sports including basketball, indoor hockey, volleyball, handball, netball and ice hockey.

A guy called Tariq Butt is almost single handedly keeping cricket in Dubai alive, according to an interesting report in Gulfnews.
Tariq Butt, one of the UAE's leading umpires, is a passionate organiser of tournaments. Since 1989 Butt has staged tournaments in different parts of Dubai and is keen to see that cricket continues to thrive in Dubai.
"For the last 18 years I have organised cricket festivals to mark the Indian and Pakistan Independence Day. I made sure that absence of grounds does not put to an end to this tradition," said Butt, who hails from Pakistan.
....and Qatar has only Ksarat....who now has also to deal with Darude's IPL Team ;)
It can be as short as a couple of hours or as long as a day or even as long as 5 days!!!
Cricket is also more suited for the locals as not much fitness is needed in comparision to other sports.
Qatar might realise the value after Dubai hosts the Cricket World cup next year.
The Dubai Sports City cricket stadium can hold 25,000
with the best facilities in the world. It also has unique 360 degree lighting...there by providing better visibility but also providing better images for the high resolution TVs.
Dubai is easily 10 years ahead of the rest of the Gulf.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

Everybody wishes they could go to heaven but no one wants to die.
probably for commercial reasons, they have created a presence for themselves on the World Tennis Tournament stage - so agree, why not cricket?
This is obviously NOT me, I don't smoke..

Dubai hosts the Cricket World cup next year.
What Crcket world cup you are talking about?
Qatar has underestimated the game of Cricket
It is an unique game.
It can be as short as a couple of hours or as long as a day or even as long as 5 days!!!
