Mohammed Khalfan Al Rumaithi, chairman of the UAE's General Sports Authority, stressed that the UAE was not seeking to transfer the 2022 World Cup from the State of Qatar.
"I am happy to have the World Cup in the Arab region, to support the tournament and not to leave the State of Qatar," Al-Rumaithi said at a meeting at the Summit world of sports leaders in Abu Dhabi.
"The establishment of the World Cup in Asia will give the continent more seats, because we have many teams that deserve to participate in the World Cup," he said.
Khalfan Al Rumaithi added, "The UAE and Saudi Arabia have great stadiums and can accommodate any event."
