From Qatar 2022 to Canada 2026 🌎⚽
Graduate students from HBKU’s Sport and Entertainment Management programme travelled to Canada for a ten-day academic exchange exploring the long-term impact of major sporting events.
Part of the Qatar, Canada and Mexico 2026 Year of Culture, the programme connected students with leading academics and sport-sector specialists at the University of Toronto and Western University, examining everything from mega-event legacy and sport policy to community development and social impact.
The exchange also created new opportunities for research, academic collaboration and knowledge-sharing between Qatar and Canada, building connections designed to continue well beyond 2026.
