residential areas and spaces for leisure and entertainment have emerged in the build up towards
Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The aim of the study is thus to examine how narratives
on urbanisation in the GCC, and in Qatar in particular, around sport and leisure has been constructed
by political and business elites, to reconcile between tradition and (post) modernity and to
communicate to both internal and external audiences.

Since winning the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar has been under the spotlight,
responding to criticism regarding the working conditions of workers involved in the construction
of football stadia and other regulations related to the Kafala system – a system of sponsorship that
binds workers to their employers. In response to these criticisms, a number of labour reforms have
been implemented, including increasing the minimum wage and lifting the requirement for workers
to get permission from their employers to change jobs or exit the country. The other strategy in
sport has been to invest more in the sport (football) for development agenda, internally and
externally. Internally, the goal is to develop sport projects targeting workers, improve their health
and well-being and offer them opportunities to celebrate their diverse cultures. Externally, the
strategy is to position Qatar in the international network of sport for development through
collaborations with different NGOs, international sport clubs and brands and sport personalities to
act as ambassadors of these different projects. The chapter focuses on football for development in
Qatar led by Generation Amazing, a branch of the Supreme Committee (SC) for the Delivery and
Legacy of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
