ASIAN GAMES 2006

The OCA Follow-Up Team headed by Mr. Hussain Al-Mussallam, Deputy Director General of the OCA visited Doha for a Follow-Up meeting with DAGOC on the preparations for the 15th Asian Games to be held in Doha in 2006.

The Team was satisfied with the progress being made in the areas of accommodation, transportation, information and technology.   The team however expressed its concern over the volunteers programme and advised DAGOC to come up with a solution soon. The team requested the local Qatari Nationals to come forward to work as volunteers especially female volunteers.

The OCA will be holding a string of meetings in the first week of April in Doha including the Standing committees meetings as well as the Coordination Committee meeting to further coordinate efforts to successfully stage the 15th Asian Games.
