FIA completes ‘deal of the century’ for World and European Rally Championships
Doha, Qatar: The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, has today announced a landmark long-term commercial rights agreement for the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) and FIA European Rally Championship (ERC). It follows the acquisition of WRC Promoter GmbH by Cosmobilis and Park Square Capital.
The biggest deal in the history of these championships, this agreement marks a new chapter for the WRC and ERC. Supporting the FIA’s vision under President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, it will bring significant new investment into the sport, helping to strengthen and grow its world-class motor sport portfolio for years to come.
This deal has been designed for the rallying community and developed to deliver real benefits for fans, competitors, event organisers and the FIA’s Member Clubs. Through this agreement, rallying will become more accessible, more competitive, and more commercially successful. As the sport grows, the FIA will continue to focus on the strong governance and regulations that provide the foundations for rallying’s long-term success.
Alongside the FIA, the new promoter team of French automotive technology and services platform Cosmobilis and private credit investor Park Square Capital share a commitment to growing the sport’s global audience and deepening fan engagement. The FIA will also benefit from significantly increased visibility of its brand across events and broadcasts around the world.
This is a pivotal moment for the WRC, which is preparing for a major regulatory overhaul. Next-generation technical regulations, due to take effect in 2027, have been designed to make the sport safer, more competitive and affordable at the highest level, while the establishment of a new FIA Growth Fund will support projects that drive the success and development of rallying worldwide.
Cosmobilis and Park Square Capital have outlined ambitious plans to take the WRC and ERC to the next level, putting fans at the heart of the sport and making rallying more exciting, accessible, and engaging.
To deliver this vision, the new promoter has built a team of experts, led by newly-appointed CEO Éric Boullier, a highly experienced motor sport executive with a track record at the highest levels of international motor sport.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, said: “This is truly the deal of the century for rallying, and I am proud to announce this transformative step forward, and never before seen levels of investment.
“Not only will it deliver real benefits to fans, competitors and our member clubs worldwide, but this investment signifies confidence in the future of our sport as its global popularity continues to grow.
“The future of our championships is at the heart of every decision we make, and we have ensured that we not only secure the right partner for today, but one who shares our long-term vision. My thanks to FIA Deputy President for Sport, Malcolm Wilson and his dedicated team for delivering this, and I am looking forward to working closely with our new promoter.
“Rallying is a huge part of my personal story, it has shaped who I am and how I work, and I am deeply committed to its future. This is an important moment for our sport and as we enter a new era I am proud that we have a new partner in place to help us drive forward the bright future of these championships.”
FIA Deputy President for Sport, Malcolm Wilson said: “I have spent my entire professional life in the FIA World Rally Championship, so I know exactly what this sport means to its competitors, its organisers, and above all its fans. In over 40 years in the sport, I have never seen investment on this scale into rallying – this deal really is that significant and I’m full of optimism for what it means for the fans, competitors and organisers."
مدرب كندا.. حماس أم استفزاز؟
أثار الأمريكي جيسي مارش، مدرب منتخب كندا، جدلًا واسعًا عقب فوز فريقه على قطر، بعدما التقطت عدسات الكاميرات بعض الإشارات والاحتفالات التي اعتبرها كثيرون مستفزة، فيما رأى آخرون أنها تعبير طبيعي عن فرحة تاريخية بأول انتصار لكندا في نهائيات كأس العالم.
وفي عالم كرة القدم، يبقى الفاصل بين الحماس والاستفزاز رفيعًا للغاية، فالتعبير عن الفرح حق مشروع، لكن توجيه الإشارات نحو المنافس أو المبالغة في الاحتفال قد يتعارض مع قيم الاحترام المتبادل.
ويؤكد الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم «فيفا» دائمًا أن شعار اللعب النظيف لا يقتصر على الالتزام بالقوانين داخل الملعب، بل يشمل أيضًا السلوك الرياضي والاحترام المتبادل بين اللاعبين والأجهزة الفنية، لأن الفوز الحقيقي هو الذي يتحقق بروح المنافسة الشريفة.
Qatar’s elite referees undergo physical fitness tests
Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s elite referees underwent physical fitness tests conducted by the Qatar Football Association (QFA) at the Aspire Academy as part of the preparation program ahead of the new season, with the participation of 61 referees.
The tests precede the annual preparatory camp for elite referees scheduled from August 7 to 18, which includes technical lectures, analysis of refereeing cases and practical applications on the field.
The tests were attended by all the referees, with the exception of the international refereeing team that officiated at FIFA World Cup 2026 comprising Abdulrahman Al Jassim, Talib Salem, Saud Ahmed and Khamis Al Marri. The quartet will however undergo physical fitness tests during the referees’ preparatory camp, which precedes the start of Doha Bank Stars League.
Hani Taleb Balan, Chairman of the Referees’ Committee, attended the fitness tests, along with Valentin Ivanov, technical expert at the refereeing department of QFA. The tests were supervised by Banjar Al Dosari, a fitness instructor at FIFA and Khamis Al Kuwari, an instructor at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), with the support of fitness trainers of the refereeing department.
The referees had begun their physical conditioning program on June 25 as part of a five-week plan aimed at reaching the required readiness before the start of the new season.
The Referees’ Committee, through its preparatory programme seeks to equip referees in the best possible way, in line with the requirements of the new season, and to enhance the quality of refereeing performance in various competitions of Qatar Football Association, most notably the Doha Bank Stars League.
In a related development, the QFA’s Refereeing Department will hold a series of meetings with club representatives from August 8 to 17. These meetings will review and explain the new amendments to the Laws of the Game and address any club inquiries, ensuring a unified understanding and application of the changes before the start of the new season.
These initiatives reflect QFA’s commitment to developing the refereeing system and preparing referees and clubs for the new season, keeping pace with the latest updates and amendments to the Laws of the Game.
