President of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) and the head of Doha 2030 Joaan Bin Hamad Bin Khalifa, unveiled the official slogan and the logo for the 2030 Asian Games.
Joaan revealed the logo, which was reflected on to the Qatar National Museum and slogan, during a ceremony held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The official logo and slogan, “Your Gateway” were revealed in an attempt to host the twenty-first edition of the games.
It is claimed that both the slogan and the logo "reflect Qatar’s combination of tradition and modernity and its commitment to hosting a magical Games with an enduring legacy for Asia".
Doha is bidding to host the Asian Games for the second time, having previously staged them in 2006.
“Our bid is born out of our strong belief that sport has the power to drive social change and foster peace. The unique role sport can play in keeping us connected and inspiring hope has been so clearly demonstrated this year during the global pandemic," Joaan said.
"We want to deliver an Asian Games that supports development throughout the continent and provides a platform that connects all nations” he added.
Qatar has hosted several top events, conferences and training camps in recent years, including last year’s World Athletics Championships and is due to stage the FIFA World Cup in 2022.
Saudi Arabia led a blockade of Qatar in 2017 along with Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain who had severed diplomatic relations with Qatar as Doha supports terrorism.
