QFA signs deal with Football Federation of Kazakhstan

The Qatar Football Association (QFA) has signed an agreement with the Football Federation of Kazakhstan (FFK) that will see the two federations share expertise and resources, the QFA said yesterday. FFK president Yerlan Kozhagapanov met with QFA vice president and AFC vice president Saoud Al Mohannadi and discussed about the close ties and football history that connects the two federations since the days when FFK was still under the AFC. The two federations aim to establish a closer co-operation and this agreement intends to specify ways of sharing expertise and resources, while at the same time supporting the development of football in both nations. The federations will set up a joint workgroup to examine the framework in detail, create an action plan with key deliverables and present a timeline of activities that both can follow and report on, QFA said. FFK head of international relations Tuplar Mansurov joined FFK president while general secretary Mansoor Al Ansari, the executive director of the president’s office, Ali Daoud, and the executive director of strategy and institutional development Mushtaq Al Waeli were present along with the QFA vice president at the event.
