DOHA (Qatar): Qatar Taekwondo, Judo and Karate Federation (QTJKF) president Khalid Hamad Al Attiyah said Qatar will provide the strictest of health protocols to the athletes and officials attending the Doha Masters.
The prestigious event, part of the World Judo Tour, will be held here from January 11 to 13, where the world’s top judokas will be seen in action.
“We are quite aware that we need to put in a lot of effort to meet the specific needs and expectations of all our stakeholders. We are very pleased to welcome our best judokas and guests in our hospitable city of Doha,” Khalid said in a statement.
