DOHA (Reuters) - Qatar is considering a bid for the 2030 Asian Games but has not formally thrown its hat in the ring, a Qatar Olympic Association (QOC) official told Reuters on Monday, its latest effort to establish Doha as a major sports capital.
The natural gas rich Gulf state, with a population of just over 2.6 million, has used its financial clout to land some of the sporting world's biggest events, including the athletics world championships currently underway in Doha and the 2022 soccer World Cup.
