DOHA: The Doha 2030 Asian Games Bid Committee today unveiled a dynamic bid logo and slogan, which together reflect Qatar’s combination of tradition and modernity and its commitment to hosting a magical Games with an enduring legacy for Asia.
The official logo and slogan, “Your Gateway”, were revealed virtually by Qatar Olympic Committe (QOC) President and Doha 2030 Asian Games Bid Committee Chair, H E Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad bin Khalifa, alongside Qatari athletes and committee representatives.
Sheikh Joaan said: “Building on the legacy of the Doha 2006 Asian Games, we want to deliver a sustainable, inspirational Games plan that provides certainty and an enduring legacy for Asian sport. We want to deliver an Asian Games that support development throughout the continent and provides a platform that connects all nations and celebrates our peaceful diversity.”
The logo has been designed to showcase the blend of Qatar’s heritage and outstanding natural scenery, with its vibrant, contemporary and diverse culture.
The `Your Gateway’ slogan mirrors Qatar’s belief that the Doha 2030 Asia Games can be a gateway to a brighter tomorrow for Asia’s National Olympic Committees (NOCs). The Doha 2030 bid is proposing a gateway to a risk-free, excellent and sustainable Games.
CEO of the Doha 2030 Bid Committee and QOC Secretary-General Jassim Rashid Al Buenain said: “We are confident that we offer the Olympic Council of Asia and its member’s certainty because all of the permanent venues we need to host the 2030 Asian Games are already built. Our infrastructure is ready to host Asia and the World.”
He added: “We have a proven track-record in delivering world-class events to the very-highest standards. And we can deliver a world-class Asian Games that set a sustainable blueprint for future bids. At a time of great uncertainty, Qatar is ready to deliver the excellence Asia deserves in the sustainable, risk-free way that it needs.”
In the last 15 years alone, Qatar has hosted more than 500 major international sports events, conferences and training camps. Athletes and their teams would be able to benefit from this experience and the existing state-of-the-art competition venues and training facilities used at major sporting events, such as the IAAF 2019 World Athletics Championships and the FIFA 2022 World Cup.
QOC Marketing & Communications Director Sheikha Asma Al Thani added: “By understanding the challenges Asian NOCs are facing and identifying ways the Games can contribute to overcoming them, we can ensure that Doha 2030 is a gateway to a stronger future for Asia before and after 2030.”
