DOHA: Qatar will host the world’s elite military parachutists from November 13 to 23 for the 47th CISM World Military Parachuting Championships.
This was announced at a press conference yesterday at Umm Al-Shokhot Airfield.
The 10-day event will be a gathering of skill and spirit, featuring 320 parachutists hailing from some 30 countries. The event, to be organised by the Qatar Air Sports Committee (QASC), promises spectacular displays of aerial precision.
This championship marks a proud return for Qatar, which previously hosted the 44th edition in 2021 — an event that earned widespread praise from the International Military Sports Council (CISM) for its impeccable organisation and high calibre of competition.
Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Saeed al-Mansouri, Vice-Chairman of QASC, yesterday said Qatar is ready to stage what will be a global event.
“This championship represents a vital opportunity for exchanging expertise and actively strengthening human and cultural ties between nations,” Al Mansouri said.
