The local organising committee of the world indoor athletics championships, to be staged in the Qatari capital Doha in March, have secured Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) as a national partner of the event.

Agreement was reached on Sunday, when the deal was ratified by Doha 2010 organising committee president H.E. Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and the QIC chief executive Khalifa Al Subaei. It is the first national partner to be secured for the three day event, which begins on March 12th.

H.E. Sheikh Sauod said: “The WIC organising committee is honoured to establish partnerships with Qatar’s leading institutions and QIC is one of the most reputable brands in Qatar. The agreement is an indication of the overwhelming support we have been receiving in recent months from across Qatar and we are confident that more such announcements will be made in the build-up to Doha 2010.”

Al Subaei called the event “one of the most important being held in the Middle East this year,” adding: “Supporting such events is very important for national companies and institutions such as QIC as it enable us to give back to the community and help promote Qatar’s growing status and role within the regional community.”

The championships will consist of 26 medal events and feature athletes from 152 countries. As well as the national sponsor programme, athletics’ governing body, the IAAF, has several global sponsors including Adidas, Samsung, Seiko, TDK and TBS that will have rights at the indoor championships
