Doha: President of the Qatar Athletics Federation (QAF) and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Doha Diamond League, Mohammed Issa Al Fadala, confirmed that preparations have been completed for the event, which will kick off Friday at the Suheim Bin Hamad Stadium at Qatar Sports Club.

According to Qatar News Agency, Al Fadala stated that Qatar's experience in organizing major sporting events supports the success of the meet both organizationally and technically, enhancing Doha's position on the global sports map, particularly in athletics. He mentioned that the meet will be distinctive due to the strong level of competition across track and field events. The committee has invited the world's top male and female athletes, including Olympic medalists, to ensure high-level competition, strong performances, and record-breaking results.

Al Fadala emphasized the competitive value of athletics in Doha, which has gained global trust and made the city a preferred destination for champions seeking strong performances and new records. He highlighted that around 97 percent of participants are Olympic medalists from recent years, ensuring a high level of competition and increasing the likelihood of record-breaking performances.

Furthermore, he pointed out that Qatar's Diamond League meet is unique for introducing initiatives like financial rewards for record-breakers, a feature not present in other Diamond League events.
