Commenting on the importance of the agreement, Hassan al-Thawadi, Secretary General of the SC said: "2022 FIFA World Cup is the first event of this scale in the Arab world and it is our chance to show the world that we are capable of organising an amazing tournament. The World Cup is not only for Qatar, but for the entire region and the co-operation between countries in the Middle East is essential for the successful delivery of this event.
"The signing of this MoU is a key milestone in this direction that opens new doors for regional knowledge sharing in the sports and events industries."
Under the MoU, Injaz Development has been designated as an "Institutional Partner" for Josoor Institute. The MoU paves the way for co-operation in the fields of research and education. The two organisations will start working on several leadership coaching programmes and aim to develop academic content for Arabic publications dedicated to the sports and events management fields.
"The cooperation between Josoor Institute and Injaz contributes to the continuous growth and development in Oman, which has recently expanded its infrastructure to accommodate sport, business, tourism and other events on a regional and international level," said Muhanned al-Asfoor, Founder and Chairman of Injaz Development Oman.
"To succeed in planning, promoting and organising such events, the Sultanate of Oman needs, in addition to its modern infrastructure and rich natural resources, to also develop local talents according to international standards.
