    The Legacy of the 2022 World Cup has been an integral part of the tournament since the bid’s inception. Through initiatives such as sustainability in construction, community engagement on stadiums and their legacy plans, Generation Amazing’s Human and Social Development programmes and B4 Development, the tournament has robust plans for the tournament and the future. This session, featuring health and sports leaders, will explore the partnership between Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy’s Generation Amazing, B4D and CONCACAF over the next four years, to ensure that the legacy of the World Cup 2022 QatarTM impacts disenfranchised people around the world beyond the last kicked ball.
