Iran Press/ Asia: The Qatari capital of Doha beat Saudi Arabian counterpart Riyadh for the 2030 Games in the vote at the Olympic Council of Asia’s general assembly.
The vote took place amid a bitter and long-running political dispute between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Saudi Arabia is one of four countries that has imposed a trade and travel boycott on Qatar since 2017, though there have recently been indications the dispute could be resolved.
Qatari officials wore masks and waved flags as they celebrated together. Vote totals were not immediately announced.
Qatar will also host the 2022 World Cup.
