the IOC cited technical reasons for its rejection of the bid, such as Doha's insistence of holding the games in October.
On August 7, 2008, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the Heir Apparent of Qatar, revealed that the state will bid for the 2020 games.
Sheikh Tamim, who is also the Chairman of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC), said that Qatar was determined to learn

the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics in 2010, the 2011 Pan Arab Games and the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.
