Qatar Sports For All Federation (QSFA ) has announced its championships and activities agenda for January, which include distinctive and qualitative sporting events.
At a press conference held by the federation Tuesday at its headquarters in Lusail Sports Arena, the organising of the men's padel tournament which will kick-off at Al Sadd Sports Club on Jan 29, was revealed.
The event will last for four days.
The tournament is for non-professional Qatari youth and includes three categories.
The groups will be classified in co-operation with the Tennis and Squash Federation, and Al Sadd Club.
QSFA Director of Events and Activities Abdullah al-Dosari said the goals focus on promoting the culture of championships in order to provide an opportunity for youth to practice their preferred sports at the appropriate place.
In a statement Tuesday, he indicated that the QSFA will organise the 7th Qatar Youth Football League, which will begin in February at Al Sadd Club.
It will be held in a league or group system in case the number of participating teams increase.
He said the Qatari family races are scheduled to take place on January 16 and 30, through which the federation aims to encourage children to practice sports and to bring together the family members through a sporting activity, at the country's public parks. Participation among community members would also be expanded, especially the elderly by providing them with a unique opportunity to improve their health through exercise.
Al-Dosari added that the federation's agenda was hosting sporting events and tournaments amounting to 575 events, and encourages those interested in sports to participate to enjoy and benefit from the events.
Al-Dosari revealed that participation in the Al Furjan Football Tournament is open, and added that it would be staged on Al-Thumama pitches on January 16, in addition to the ongoing preparations for the 90km race Qatar East to West Ultramarathon which also begin on January 16.
The race was postponed from 2022 due to its coincidence with the activities of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and as the race extends from Corniche to Dukhan area and is expected to witness a great turnout from all nationalities, with the number of participants reaching 739 individuals and 12 teams.
He explained that the daily outdoor sports events and activities for the programme "365 Days of Activity" are continuing in public parks at Al Rayyan, Aspire, and Al Dafna for men, in addition to sports activities for women at Al Luqta Park and Women's Sport Committee.
He noted that the Qatar Sports for All Federation will announce new special events for children and adults to emphasise the importance of exercising and pursuing a healthy lifestyle.
