DOHA: Regional development will be at the heart of ‎future plans, QFA

President Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani said.

The QFA President urged GCC football bodies to work on grassroots

level to ensure that Asian game moves forward.

“Harnessing the talent in GCC is the way forward,” Sheikh Hamad said

in a statement. “I have underlined this point a few times in the past,” he

said.

“We are considering the possibility of adding a slot on club rosters reserved

for GCC players, we have to discuss such points at the highest level of the

game in the region. We must follow the way Asian and global football has

developed,” he said.

“I will be making more proposals when we sit down for key meetings of the

Gulf Football Federation,” he said.

“It is in the interest of all bodies that we develop regional football with

serious intent,” he said.
