Qatar is a hereditary constitutional monarchy and its Head of State is Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, a man with a strong personality and great charisma. He is described as friendly, confident, and open by those who know him. But, he is also described as savvy, careful, and smart. In addition, he is considered to be a pragmatist, and to have excellent relations with the West. Sheikh Tamim has always promoted sport as part of Qatar's bid to raise its international profile. In 2005 he founded Qatar Sport Investments, which owns Paris Saint-Germain F.C. among other investments. Tamim is a member of the International Olympic Committee and the National Olympic Committee chairman. He has headed Doha's bid for the 2020 Olympics. The country will host the football World Cup in 2022. A great horse rider himself, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani has also founded the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club that today is a major source of pride of everyone in the country. Its facilities represent a unique architectural masterpiece that is in continuous and accelerated development through the efforts and guidance of the visionary leadership of Tamim. The country hosts numerous equestrian events such as the much awaited ‘Qatar National Arabian Horse Show’. Governed by the Constitution and Rules of the European Conference of Arab Horse Organizations (ECAHO), this Event is a National Show organized and supervised by Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC).
