38
+ world?\",\n \"article\": \"Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai: New centre of the
39
+ sporting world?\\n\\nWhere once, sport looked west for investment and inspiration,
40
+ now it looks east.\\n\\nThe oil-rich billionaires of the Gulf have planted
41
+ a flag at the heart of the sporting landscape in recent years. They have invested
42
+ their inconceivable wealth across an array of sports into all corners of the
43
+ world and now they are using their influence to bring sport to the region,
44
+ as a global statement of their ambition.\\n\\nThree Gulf states are at the
45
+ heart of this extraordinary revolution: Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In Dubai
46
+ alone, you will find one billionaire in every 200,000 people.\\n\\nIn Abu
47
+ Dhabi, a rival state in the United Arab Emirates, the figures are just as
48
+ extraordinary. It is in the process of building the jaw-dropping having paid
49
+ the world-famous Paris museum more than \\u00a3400m just to use the name.
50
+ While in Qatar, more than 14% of households have at least \\u00a31m of private
51
+ wealth in the bank.\\n\\nAnd it is that wealth, that influence, which has
52
+ lured sport to the Gulf.\\n\\nTake last week, for instance. On Monday, the
53
+ row over Qatar's right to stage the 2022 World Cup rumbled on. On Tuesday,
54
+ Doha in Qatar won the right to host the 2019 World Athletics Championships.
55
+ From Thursday to Sunday, Rory McIlroy duelled with Henrik Stenson at the European
56
+ Tour's season-ending showpiece in Dubai.\\n\\nLewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg
57
+ and the rest of the Formula 1 circus were in Abu Dhabi from Thursday before
58
+ contesting the final Grand Prix of the season on Sunday at the ostentatious
59
+ Yas Marina Circuit, built at a cost of about \\u00a3900m ($1.5bn).\\n\\nThe
60
+ region is fast becoming a sporting hub like no other. Qatar, for example,
61
+ will host world championships in boxing, swimming, squash, handball and para-athletics
62
+ in the next 12 months as well as staging almost 40 other sporting events.\\n\\nThe
63
+ question is why? Dr Christopher Davidson, reader in Middle East studies at
64
+ Durham University, says the approach is all about increasing global exposure.\\n\\n\\\"One
65
+ of the key reasons behind the approach is the desire to accumulate 'soft power'
66
+ in states which are either major trade partners or, more importantly, potential
67
+ military protectors, notably the UK, France and the United States,\\\" he
68
+ told the BBC.\\n\\n\\\"If sport is a way to allow these Gulf states to grab
69
+ favourable headlines and become better known, then it can help them to appear
70
+ more open, more friendly.\\\"\\n\\nIf we look at each of the three states
71
+ individually, the picture is easier to understand.\\n\\nDubai has the longest
72
+ association with sport thanks to its supreme ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
73
+ Al Maktoum. The 65-year-old is best known as owner of Godolphin, the thoroughbred
74
+ horse racing group, which he founded in 1994.\\n\\nIn 1996, the Dubai World
75
+ Cup was inaugurated as the world's richest horserace and takes place at the
76
+ world's most opulent course, the Meydan, built at a cost of \\u00a3800m ($1.25bn).\\n\\nSheikh
77
+ Mohammed's private wealth is estimated at \\u00a39bn, but his reach extends
78
+ far beyond that. He founded Emirates Airways, which last year\\n\\nThey have
79
+ shirt deals with Italy's AC Milan, French club Paris St-Germain and Arsenal,
80
+ whose north London stadium will be named after the airline until at least
81
+ 2028. But they also have deals with the US Open tennis, the International
82
+ Cricket Council, the Ryder Cup and the USA Rugby Union team.\\n\\nKevin Hasler,
83
+ general manager of PR firm BPG, Cohn & Wolfe, said: \\\"When you watch a Premier
84
+ League game and the commentator says 'here at the Etihad' or 'their third
85
+ successive win at the Emirates', naming stadiums and shirt sponsorship has
86
+ become enormously effective.\\n\\n\\\"Brands are being seen around the world
87
+ in newspapers and on TV, day in, day out. The core of these strategies is
88
+ about investing to put these states on the map, getting them talked about
89
+ and discussed.\\\"\\n\\nElsewhere, Dubai has hosted an ATP Tennis event at
90
+ the Aviation Club with Roger Federer, who has a home in the region, winning
91
+ four times in five years from 2003 and a sixth time this year.\\n\\nThere
92
+ was, of course, that ill-fated attempt to buy Liverpool in 2007 and 2008.\\n\\nAbu
93
+ Dhabi has, however, gone one step further. If Dubai has Emirates Airways,
94
+ Abu Dhabi has Etihad - a name synonymous with the Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester
95
+ City.\\n\\nAbu Dhabi is ruled by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. His half
96
+ brother, Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan (better
97
+ known as Sheikh Mansour) is the man who bought Manchester City in 2008.\\n\\nThe
98
+ family have ruled the emirate since the 18th century and pride themselves
99
+ on 'respect for heritage, culture, tradition.'\\n\\nThe ruling family are
100
+ complex with Sheikh Mansour one of 19 sons born to Abu Dhabi's long-term ruler
101
+ Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. His mother, one of six wives, had six sons,
102
+ making her part of this vast family the most influential.\\n\\nIn terms of
103
+ wealth? It is almost limitless. It is estimated that the family have as much
104
+ as $1tn in overseas assets alone. Their investment in City represents loose
105
+ change, in relative terms, even if they have pumped in excess of \\u00a31bn
106
+ into the club since 2008.\\n\\nTheir football interests extend elsewhere,
107
+ however. A company owned by Sheikh Mansour has recently agreed to to the tune
108
+ of \\u00a3312m.\\n\\nThe work will include the creation of a hotel and shopping
109
+ centre. But perhaps it is their move to expand into the United States that
110
+ is more interesting.\\n\\nIn 2013, Major League Soccer and the iconic New
111
+ York Yankees announced a pioneering deal to create an MLS franchise in New
112
+ York in time for the start of the 2015-16 season -\\n\\nIt is a development
113
+ that could give Abu Dhabi a footing and profile in the United States that
114
+ was previously unimaginable. A few months later, it was announced Sheikh Mansour
115
+ and Manchester City added Australian side Melbourne Heart.\\n\\n\\\"You could
116
+ look at things like the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Abu Dhabi golf championships
117
+ and the investment in Manchester City as some of their most prominent global
118
+ marketing assets,\\\" said Ben Faber, senior director at Fast Track Middle
119
+ East, the company tasked with delivering City's fan loyalty programmes.\\n\\n\\\"The
120
+ Manchester City investment has given the emirate global awareness through
121
+ the fan base and they have been able to tap into associated Abu Dhabi businesses
122
+ such as Etihad to leverage off the back of that ownership as sponsors of the
123
+ club.\\\"\\n\\nAnd what of Qatar? Financial experts describe it as the world's
124
+ most ambitious deal hunter. A brief scan across the London skyline would suggest
125
+ they have a point.\\n\\nThe Shard, is Qatari owned, as are swathes of the
126
+ Canary Wharf financial district.\\n\\nDuring the financial crisis, the Qatar
127
+ Investment Authority (QIA) emerged as a white-knight investor to become Barclays'
128
+ biggest shareholder. A little further east, many of the buildings in the Olympic
129
+ Village are now owned by QIA.\\n\\nThe world's most expensive block of flats,
130
+ is Qatar owned as is Harrods, the famous department store. It owns a fifth
131
+ of the London stock exchange, 20% of Camden market. The reach is extraordinary.\\n\\nQatar
132
+ is ruled by a 34-year-old Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the world's
133
+ youngest reigning monarch. Born in Doha, the capital of Qatar, he was educated
134
+ at Harrow School in London, before graduating from the Royal Military Academy
135
+ Sandhurst. He is now head of the QIA, which is estimated to have assets of
136
+ \\u00a3300bn.\\n\\nQuestions remain about the bidding process for the 2022
137
+ World Cup and world governing body Fifa has yet to fully address the plight
138
+ of the 1.4m migrant workers in the country, many of whom are there against
139
+ their will.\\n\\nThe project began just after the turn of the century, when
140
+ some of Europe's elder footballing statesmen were lured to Qatar for one last
141
+ pay day. Pep Guardiola was among them, playing for Al Ahli between 2003 and
142
+ 2005.\\n\\nThe Bayern Munich manager subsequently became an ambassador for
143
+ Qatar's successful World Cup bid. But there was more to come. Some 10 days
144
+ after Fifa announced the country would host the World Cup in 2022, came the
145
+ news that Qatar would appear on the Barcelona shirt, in a deal that would
146
+ become the biggest in football sponsorship history.\\n\\nThe deal was struck
147
+ with the Qatar Foundation, the country's charitable arm. Two years later,
148
+ Qatar Airways' paid \\u00a376m (\\u20ac96m) to extend the country's sponsorship
149
+ to all areas of the club.\\n\\nThen in 2011, QIA bought Paris St-Germain.
150
+ It was a bold move to harness the potential of the biggest one-club city in
151
+ Europe. To aid their cause PSG signed a controversial \\u20ac200m-a-year sponsorship
152
+ deal with the Qatar Tourism Authority. Paris is not the only city in Europe
153
+ touched by the wealth of Qatar. A year earlier, Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani,
154
+ of the country's Royal Family, bought the Spanish club Malaga.\\n\\nQatar's
155
+ wealth is built on having the world's third-largest natural gas reserves.
156
+ But they will not last forever. \\\"By bringing sport to the Gulf, these states
157
+ are not only helping to boost tourism, boosting GDP as a result, but they
158
+ are also reducing their reliance on the oil, gas or industry that may not
159
+ last forever,\\\" said Dr Davidson.\\n\\nAnd yet while the region brings opportunity
160
+ and wealth it also brings with it controversy. The climate does not suit all
161
+ sport at all times. The row about when to stage the 2022 World Cup is well
162
+ publicised. Qatar is also moving the 2019 World Athletics Championships to
163
+ the autumn because of the unbearable summer heat.\\n\\nAnd that is to say
164
+ nothing of conditions for migrant workers, who often have to surrender the
165
+ passports and whose right to come and go is governed by their employer.\\n\\nIn
166
+ September two British researchers documenting the problems faced by migrant
167
+ workers were held for 10 days without charge. In Dubai, the former Leeds United
168
+ managing director David Haigh has been in prison for six months without charge.\\n\\nAnd
169
+ yet these issues are being overlooked. Money talks. As does the opportunity
170
+ to take sport to new parts of the world.\\n\\nWill these states continue to
171
+ bankroll sport, continue to build their sport portfolios?\\n\\nNo one can
172
+ be certain of the answer. Doha has twice bid for the Olympic Games but they
173
+ are unlikely to be put off bidding again. Who would bet against them?\\n\\nThere
174
+ are, however, those who believe that the region's investment focus is shifting
175
+ towards cultural and artistic assets. In 2017, construction is due to be complete
176
+ on a based on the original in New York.\\n\\nBut having secured such a stronghold
177
+ in sport, their existing investments will remain a key part of each respective
178
+ state's marketing strategies. The wealth is limitless, the ambition to bring
179
+ the best athletes in the world to the region remains.\\n\\nIt is a land grab
180
+ unmatched anywhere in the world. In sporting terms, east has met west.\",\n

38
+ world?\",\n \"article\": \"Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai: New centre of the
39
+ sporting world?\\n\\nWhere once, sport looked west for investment and inspiration,
40
+ now it looks east.\\n\\nThe oil-rich billionaires of the Gulf have planted
41
+ a flag at the heart of the sporting landscape in recent years. They have invested
42
+ their inconceivable wealth across an array of sports into all corners of the
43
+ world and now they are using their influence to bring sport to the region,
44
+ as a global statement of their ambition.\\n\\nThree Gulf states are at the
45
+ heart of this extraordinary revolution: Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In Dubai
46
+ alone, you will find one billionaire in every 200,000 people.\\n\\nIn Abu
47
+ Dhabi, a rival state in the United Arab Emirates, the figures are just as
48
+ extraordinary. It is in the process of building the jaw-dropping having paid
49
+ the world-famous Paris museum more than \\u00a3400m just to use the name.
50
+ While in Qatar, more than 14% of households have at least \\u00a31m of private
51
+ wealth in the bank.\\n\\nAnd it is that wealth, that influence, which has
52
+ lured sport to the Gulf.\\n\\nTake last week, for instance. On Monday, the
53
+ row over Qatar's right to stage the 2022 World Cup rumbled on. On Tuesday,
54
+ Doha in Qatar won the right to host the 2019 World Athletics Championships.
55
+ From Thursday to Sunday, Rory McIlroy duelled with Henrik Stenson at the European
56
+ Tour's season-ending showpiece in Dubai.\\n\\nLewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg
57
+ and the rest of the Formula 1 circus were in Abu Dhabi from Thursday before
58
+ contesting the final Grand Prix of the season on Sunday at the ostentatious
59
+ Yas Marina Circuit, built at a cost of about \\u00a3900m ($1.5bn).\\n\\nThe
60
+ region is fast becoming a sporting hub like no other. Qatar, for example,
61
+ will host world championships in boxing, swimming, squash, handball and para-athletics
62
+ in the next 12 months as well as staging almost 40 other sporting events.\\n\\nThe
63
+ question is why? Dr Christopher Davidson, reader in Middle East studies at
64
+ Durham University, says the approach is all about increasing global exposure.\\n\\n\\\"One
65
+ of the key reasons behind the approach is the desire to accumulate 'soft power'
66
+ in states which are either major trade partners or, more importantly, potential
67
+ military protectors, notably the UK, France and the United States,\\\" he
68
+ told the BBC.\\n\\n\\\"If sport is a way to allow these Gulf states to grab
69
+ favourable headlines and become better known, then it can help them to appear
70
+ more open, more friendly.\\\"\\n\\nIf we look at each of the three states
71
+ individually, the picture is easier to understand.\\n\\nDubai has the longest
72
+ association with sport thanks to its supreme ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
73
+ Al Maktoum. The 65-year-old is best known as owner of Godolphin, the thoroughbred
74
+ horse racing group, which he founded in 1994.\\n\\nIn 1996, the Dubai World
75
+ Cup was inaugurated as the world's richest horserace and takes place at the
76
+ world's most opulent course, the Meydan, built at a cost of \\u00a3800m ($1.25bn).\\n\\nSheikh
77
+ Mohammed's private wealth is estimated at \\u00a39bn, but his reach extends
78
+ far beyond that. He founded Emirates Airways, which last year\\n\\nThey have
79
+ shirt deals with Italy's AC Milan, French club Paris St-Germain and Arsenal,
80
+ whose north London stadium will be named after the airline until at least
81
+ 2028. But they also have deals with the US Open tennis, the International
82
+ Cricket Council, the Ryder Cup and the USA Rugby Union team.\\n\\nKevin Hasler,
83
+ general manager of PR firm BPG, Cohn & Wolfe, said: \\\"When you watch a Premier
84
+ League game and the commentator says 'here at the Etihad' or 'their third
85
+ successive win at the Emirates', naming stadiums and shirt sponsorship has
86
+ become enormously effective.\\n\\n\\\"Brands are being seen around the world
87
+ in newspapers and on TV, day in, day out. The core of these strategies is
88
+ about investing to put these states on the map, getting them talked about
89
+ and discussed.\\\"\\n\\nElsewhere, Dubai has hosted an ATP Tennis event at
90
+ the Aviation Club with Roger Federer, who has a home in the region, winning
91
+ four times in five years from 2003 and a sixth time this year.\\n\\nThere
92
+ was, of course, that ill-fated attempt to buy Liverpool in 2007 and 2008.\\n\\nAbu
93
+ Dhabi has, however, gone one step further. If Dubai has Emirates Airways,
94
+ Abu Dhabi has Etihad - a name synonymous with the Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester
95
+ City.\\n\\nAbu Dhabi is ruled by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. His half
96
+ brother, Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan (better
97
+ known as Sheikh Mansour) is the man who bought Manchester City in 2008.\\n\\nThe
98
+ family have ruled the emirate since the 18th century and pride themselves
99
+ on 'respect for heritage, culture, tradition.'\\n\\nThe ruling family are
100
+ complex with Sheikh Mansour one of 19 sons born to Abu Dhabi's long-term ruler
101
+ Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. His mother, one of six wives, had six sons,
102
+ making her part of this vast family the most influential.\\n\\nIn terms of
103
+ wealth? It is almost limitless. It is estimated that the family have as much
104
+ as $1tn in overseas assets alone. Their investment in City represents loose
105
+ change, in relative terms, even if they have pumped in excess of \\u00a31bn
106
+ into the club since 2008.\\n\\nTheir football interests extend elsewhere,
107
+ however. A company owned by Sheikh Mansour has recently agreed to to the tune
108
+ of \\u00a3312m.\\n\\nThe work will include the creation of a hotel and shopping
109
+ centre. But perhaps it is their move to expand into the United States that
110
+ is more interesting.\\n\\nIn 2013, Major League Soccer and the iconic New
111
+ York Yankees announced a pioneering deal to create an MLS franchise in New
112
+ York in time for the start of the 2015-16 season -\\n\\nIt is a development
113
+ that could give Abu Dhabi a footing and profile in the United States that
114
+ was previously unimaginable. A few months later, it was announced Sheikh Mansour
115
+ and Manchester City added Australian side Melbourne Heart.\\n\\n\\\"You could
116
+ look at things like the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Abu Dhabi golf championships
117
+ and the investment in Manchester City as some of their most prominent global
118
+ marketing assets,\\\" said Ben Faber, senior director at Fast Track Middle
119
+ East, the company tasked with delivering City's fan loyalty programmes.\\n\\n\\\"The
120
+ Manchester City investment has given the emirate global awareness through
121
+ the fan base and they have been able to tap into associated Abu Dhabi businesses
122
+ such as Etihad to leverage off the back of that ownership as sponsors of the
123
+ club.\\\"\\n\\nAnd what of Qatar? Financial experts describe it as the world's
124
+ most ambitious deal hunter. A brief scan across the London skyline would suggest
125
+ they have a point.\\n\\nThe Shard, is Qatari owned, as are swathes of the
126
+ Canary Wharf financial district.\\n\\nDuring the financial crisis, the Qatar
127
+ Investment Authority (QIA) emerged as a white-knight investor to become Barclays'
128
+ biggest shareholder. A little further east, many of the buildings in the Olympic
129
+ Village are now owned by QIA.\\n\\nThe world's most expensive block of flats,
130
+ is Qatar owned as is Harrods, the famous department store. It owns a fifth
131
+ of the London stock exchange, 20% of Camden market. The reach is extraordinary.\\n\\nQatar
132
+ is ruled by a 34-year-old Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the world's
133
+ youngest reigning monarch. Born in Doha, the capital of Qatar, he was educated
134
+ at Harrow School in London, before graduating from the Royal Military Academy
135
+ Sandhurst. He is now head of the QIA, which is estimated to have assets of
136
+ \\u00a3300bn.\\n\\nQuestions remain about the bidding process for the 2022
137
+ World Cup and world governing body Fifa has yet to fully address the plight
138
+ of the 1.4m migrant workers in the country, many of whom are there against
139
+ their will.\\n\\nThe project began just after the turn of the century, when
140
+ some of Europe's elder footballing statesmen were lured to Qatar for one last
141
+ pay day. Pep Guardiola was among them, playing for Al Ahli between 2003 and
142
+ 2005.\\n\\nThe Bayern Munich manager subsequently became an ambassador for
143
+ Qatar's successful World Cup bid. But there was more to come. Some 10 days
144
+ after Fifa announced the country would host the World Cup in 2022, came the
145
+ news that Qatar would appear on the Barcelona shirt, in a deal that would
146
+ become the biggest in football sponsorship history.\\n\\nThe deal was struck
147
+ with the Qatar Foundation, the country's charitable arm. Two years later,
148
+ Qatar Airways' paid \\u00a376m (\\u20ac96m) to extend the country's sponsorship
149
+ to all areas of the club.\\n\\nThen in 2011, QIA bought Paris St-Germain.
150
+ It was a bold move to harness the potential of the biggest one-club city in
151
+ Europe. To aid their cause PSG signed a controversial \\u20ac200m-a-year sponsorship
152
+ deal with the Qatar Tourism Authority. Paris is not the only city in Europe
153
+ touched by the wealth of Qatar. A year earlier, Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani,
154
+ of the country's Royal Family, bought the Spanish club Malaga.\\n\\nQatar's
155
+ wealth is built on having the world's third-largest natural gas reserves.
156
+ But they will not last forever. \\\"By bringing sport to the Gulf, these states
157
+ are not only helping to boost tourism, boosting GDP as a result, but they
158
+ are also reducing their reliance on the oil, gas or industry that may not
159
+ last forever,\\\" said Dr Davidson.\\n\\nAnd yet while the region brings opportunity
160
+ and wealth it also brings with it controversy. The climate does not suit all
161
+ sport at all times. The row about when to stage the 2022 World Cup is well
162
+ publicised. Qatar is also moving the 2019 World Athletics Championships to
163
+ the autumn because of the unbearable summer heat.\\n\\nAnd that is to say
164
+ nothing of conditions for migrant workers, who often have to surrender the
165
+ passports and whose right to come and go is governed by their employer.\\n\\nIn
166
+ September two British researchers documenting the problems faced by migrant
167
+ workers were held for 10 days without charge. In Dubai, the former Leeds United
168
+ managing director David Haigh has been in prison for six months without charge.\\n\\nAnd
169
+ yet these issues are being overlooked. Money talks. As does the opportunity
170
+ to take sport to new parts of the world.\\n\\nWill these states continue to
171
+ bankroll sport, continue to build their sport portfolios?\\n\\nNo one can
172
+ be certain of the answer. Doha has twice bid for the Olympic Games but they
173
+ are unlikely to be put off bidding again. Who would bet against them?\\n\\nThere
174
+ are, however, those who believe that the region's investment focus is shifting
175
+ towards cultural and artistic assets. In 2017, construction is due to be complete
176
+ on a based on the original in New York.\\n\\nBut having secured such a stronghold
177
+ in sport, their existing investments will remain a key part of each respective
178
+ state's marketing strategies. The wealth is limitless, the ambition to bring
179
+ the best athletes in the world to the region remains.\\n\\nIt is a land grab
180
+ unmatched anywhere in the world. In sporting terms, east has met west.\",\n
