Doha’s Hamad International Airport has teamed up with FC Bayern Munich to become the German football team’s official platinum sponsor.

The new sponsorship, which was reported by ETN, comes ahead of Qatar’s plans to host the FIFA World Cup 2022.

On the new sponsorship agreement, Hamad International Airport-Qatar (HIA-Qatar) group chief executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker commented: “We designed HIA-Qatar to be the most advanced, most efficient and most comfortable global aviation gateway, and a facility able to handle up to 50 million of our own passengers every year, as well as the millions of fans that will visit Doha for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

“This is perfectly aligned with our national strategy to establish global leadership in sports, by hosting world-class events such as the recent ATP Qatar ExxonMobil Open and the International Paralympic Committee World Championships.

“To further align the Group to this national strategy, we took a creative approach by seeking opportunities for HIA-Qatar to partner with the best of the best, and very happily we have created a Platinum Sponsorship relationship with Germany’s most-winning team, FC Bayern Munich. We welcome the opportunities this relationship gives HIA-Qatar.”
