Qatar has made available unprecedented facilities to ensure an amazing hosting of the World Athletics Championship, which will be hosted by Doha from Friday until 6 October, said International Federation of Athletics Federation's (IAAF) President Lord Sebastian Coe.

The IAAF President thanked His Excellency (H.E.) Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, the President of the Supreme Organising Committee of the IAAF World Athletics Championship (Doha 2019), as well as the working committees for their great efforts to provide all services and facilities to delegates attending from 209 countries.

This came during the honoring ceremony attended by H.E. Sheikh Joaan. The honoring ceremony was held by the Organising Committee of the World Championships at the Sheraton Doha Hotel to honor the heads of delegations participating in the major sporting event being held in the region for the first time.
