The CEO also appreciated the support, co-operation and guidance that the company received from the Arab Games Organising Committee during the construction of the world class Athletes Village. .
According to Deputy CEO Abdul Rahman al-Najjar the company designed the Athletes Village to serve as a second home to visiting sportsmen. “Besides being the Athletes’ Village, the facility’s location is also quite important. New roads have been laid to connect the village with all the competition venues and thus transportation of athletes became rather easy. It would not take not more than 30 minutes to reach a place as farther  as Lusail from the Village”, he said.
The village, according to the company, is equipped with such facilities as Mosque, a polyclinic, a daycare facility for children, swimming pools, fully-equipped gymnasiums, other recreational facilities and  table tennis tables among others.
