Qatar Olympic Committee Officials Inspect Team Qatar Delegation at the 2026 Asian Beach Games

Sanya, China – Senior officials from the Qatar Olympic Committee conducted an inspection visit to Team Qatar’s delegation participating in the 2026 Asian Beach Games, currently taking place in Sanya.

The visit was led by H.E. Dr. Thani bin Abdulrahman Al-Kuwari, Second Vice President of the Qatar Olympic Committee, accompanied by H.E. Mr. Jassim bin Rashid Al Buenain, Secretary General of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC). The delegation toured the team headquarters to assess preparations and ensure the readiness of athletes, as well as administrative and technical staff, ahead of the sixth edition of the Games.

During the visit, the officials met with Qatar’s male and female athletes, emphasizing the importance of sustained dedication and delivering top-level performances that reflect the remarkable progress of Qatari sport and its growing presence on the continental stage. They underscored the need for focus and professionalism both on and off the field of play, noting that participation in such a prestigious event represents a valuable opportunity to gain experience and further elevate Qatar’s standing in beach sports.

The officials also reviewed operational aspects within the delegation’s headquarters, including administrative and organizational arrangements. They commended the management team for their efforts in providing comprehensive support and ensuring optimal conditions for the athletes, thereby fostering an environment conducive to achieving outstanding results.

Team Qatar is set to compete in seven sports at the Games: beach volleyball, 3x3 basketball, handball, sailing, aquathlon, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling, with both men’s and women’s teams represented in selected disciplines.

Qatar’s participation in the Asian Beach Games reflects its consistent presence since the inaugural edition in Bali in 2008, followed by the 2010 Asian Beach Games in Muscat. The nation achieved its first gold medal at the 2012 Asian Beach Games in Haiyang through its national beach handball team, marking a significant milestone in its beach sports journey.
