Madrid, Spain: Qatar Football Association (QFA) President Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al-Thani on Sunday met with several football personalities during the Libertadores Cup final at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
The meetings took place on the official invitation of President of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) Mr. Alejandro Dominguez.
The discussions centred around mutual football interests. The officials also discussed Qatar’s preparation on hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The matter of Qatar’s participation in next year’s Copa America was also discussed. In the same vein QFA chief met with President of UEFA Aleksander Ceferin.
Juan Quintero’s stunning extra-time strike helped River Plate come from a goal down to record a historic victory over 10-man Boca Juniors in Madrid and win the Copa Libertadores.
The historic final was moved more than 6,000 miles from Buenos Aires, in Argentina, to the Spanish capital after its postponement in November, when Boca’s team bus was attacked by River fans, causing injury to players and staff.
