The CEO of the Qatar Automobile and Motorcycle Federation said that “We are delighted to confirm that Al Bayt Stadium will host the start and end ceremonies.”

“It is an amazing new facility that will welcome world football next year. We are fortunate to be able to use the stadium for the new round of the FIM Cross Country Rally World Cup Albaha MotoGP,” he added.
