Emirates is as an Official Partner of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and with the event kicking off in less than a year this was a perfect opportunity for the two men to discuss the event.
Ghaith Al Ghaith took the opportunity of this meeting to discuss with the FIFA President the possibility Dubai hosting future FIFA meetings and events. Dubai has an excellent infrastructure and facilities to host both conferences and sporting tournaments and so is a perfect destination for future FIFA activity.
Emirates is the first airline to become an Official Partner of the FIFA World Cup, and the airline hopes to see many passengers from around the world travelling through Dubai on their way to the games in Germany.
Ghaith al Ghaith said: "Emirates is very proud to be a sponsor of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and by transporting people from across Australia, Asia and Africa to Germany we hope very much to showcase Dubai to a new audience of both business and leisure travellers.
