Italian Super Cup finalists, Juventus, took a break for a taste of authentic Qatari hospitality while training for the decisive match scheduled to take place tomorrow at Al Sadd Stadium.
The match between AC Milan and Juventus will mark the second time that the Italian Super Cup will be played in the Qatari capital after Juventus took on Napoli at the same stadium in 2014.
Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) is working closely with its public and private sector partners to attract world-class competitions – and thereby international sports tourists – to Qatar. More than 3,000 tickets have been sold to international fans.
Earlier this month, QTA partnered with Qatar Airways to host the ‘Match of Champions,’ attracting more than 5,000 international visitors and generating an estimated QR9.6mn.
“The return of Supercoppa Italiana, one of European football’s most important games of the year, to Qatar is testament to the country’s growing strength as a destination for global sporting events,” QTA chief marketing and promotion officer Rashed al-Qurese said.
“We are pleased to join hands with our partners at Qatar Football Association to build on this strength to attract international sports tourists to visit Qatar,” he added.
The senior QTA official noted that this historic match, together with the attractive travel, ticket and accommodation packages provided for international fans of both teams, promise an unforgettable experience for Qatar’s visitors this week.
