With the theme “Football and sports medicine – celebrating diversity,” the highly-acclaimed conference in the FIFA World Cup host country will focus on women’s football, youth, recreational footballers of all ages, and footballers with special needs.
“The Qatar Football Association is keen to work very closely with the AFC in hosting and delivering significant events in Qatar. I am confident that the AFC Medical Conference will be a major success,” said QFA Secretary-General Mansoor Mohammed Al Ansari.
