QATAR, which is hosting the Asian Games this year, plans to bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, a senior official said overnight.

"We want to be one of the candidate cities for the 2016 Games. We have expressed our interest and we hope to be accepted," the Qatar National Olympic Committee official told Reuters.

The official said the Gulf Arab state will be competing with 12 other cities including Dubai, the regional tourism and commercial hub, in the United Arab Emirates, but no Arab country has hosted the Olympics.

Qatar is staging the 2006 Asian Games in December. The small Gulf Arab state has spent about $4 billion on infrastructure and sporting facilities before the two-week event, according to official figures.

Five American cities and Mumbai in India are expected to bid for the 2016 Games, the official added.

OPEC-member Qatar is home to world's third-largest reserves of natural gas and has been witnessing an economic boom fuelled by high energy prices.

It has been investing heavily in mega-projects in sport, education and real estate. The country is also home to the state-funded maverick Arabic language news network Al Jazeera.

"We have already built our infrastructure, and what we currently have is over and above the requirements for the Olympics. But we will know more on how well our bid is doing by this time next year," the official said.
