Speaking on the occasion, HSTRC president Hans Thomasz said, “Touch is booming in Qatar and its popularity is growing rapidly. Full credit to Qatar Touch for their ongoing support. We are expecting to welcome a huge influx of supporters, families and friends to witness an exciting day of competitive touch rugby.”
