Doha: The arrival of all participating delegations for the Qatar International Friendship Artistic Gymnastics Championship will be completed today, ahead of the tournament set to take place tomorrow and on Saturday at Aspire Academy.

The championship will feature 225 young gymnasts from six countries - Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq.

The Qatar International Friendship Artistic Gymnastics Championships provide an invaluable opportunity for clubs and academies to compete against strong teams, assess their athletes’ skill levels, and prepare them for major international competitions.

The tournament is being held at Aspire Academy with an anticipated large spectator turnout, giving it an official and prestigious atmosphere.

The organising team for this championship is the same team that has successfully managed the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series for the past 17 years.

This reflects the high level of professionalism and organisational excellence that has become a hallmark of sporting events in Doha. The tournament is also seen as a stepping stone toward hosting future competitions for boys’ categories and different age groups.

The Organizing Committee, led by Ali Al Hitmi, President of the Qatar Gymnastics Federation, has ensured that all organisational and logistical aspects of the championship were completed before the arrival of the teams and the tournament’s kickoff.
