Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) signed today morning an agreement with Nasser Al-Attiyah, announcing the world-level Qatari rally driver and Skeet shooter as a humanitarian ambassador.

Pursuing the common goals of sports and humanitarian action, this partnership is aimed at advocating major social and humanitarian causes; promoting humanitarianism, community service, and volunteerism; and mobilizing support for QRCS's humanitarian activities both locally and internationally.

Among his numerous championships, Mr. Al-Attiyah is a five-time winner of the Dakar Rally, and he won a bronze medal for skeet shooting in the London 2012 Olympics. With his exceptional motivation and inspiring personality, he has become an icon of Qatari sports and a role model for youth.

“It is my honor to be a QRCS humanitarian ambassador, supporting its humanitarian operations in Qatar and all over the world," said Mr. Al-Attiyah. “As athletes, it is our duty to stand hand-in-hand with you, offering as much as we can for nothing in return. It is a message that we would like to convey to the public. Everyone would wish to be part of your team, helping people in emergencies".

Faisal Mohamed Al-Emadi, Acting Secretary-General of QRCS, commented, “Welcome Nasser Al-Attiyah as a new member of the QRCS family. When we contacted you on a short notice, you did not hesitate to accept our request. Thank you! You are expected to actively contribute to QRCS's 45-year humanitarian legacy as a leading organization that is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Let's embrace the slogan 'Humanity First'".​
