The QSL hosted a special lunch at the Fraiser Suites in Doha for the Snapchat ambassadors who took part in the recent Qatar Cup Snapchat Live story. Guests were treated to a meal and where awarded with a certificate of appreciation and a small gift for their efforts over the 2016 Qatar Cup competition.

Speaking at the event, QSL’s Executive Director and Communication Khalifa Al Haroon said; “It was a fantastic opportunity to have Qatari media ambassadors, who contributed to the success of the Snapchat story and aided the promotion of the 2016 Qatar Cup competition. I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank the ambassadors for their efforts over the competition and look forward to building on this work going into the new QSL season.”

Whilst social media ambassador Dr Mohammed Saadi was quick to praise the efforts of the QSL and the Snapchat Live story; “ As a ambassador, I am very proud of the effort and work that we put in with collaboration with the QSL. I believe this is the start of a strong relationship with the aim of rasing the profile of the QSL and football in Qatar in general.”

The QSL media team will now be looking to build on the impressive figures achieved across social media over the Qatar Cup competition. Over 1.5 Million users watched the live story of the Qatar Cup final, which was the first ever football event covered as a Snapchat Live Story in Qatar.
