Qatar is hopeful of bringing Formula 𒁏E to its capital, Doha, in the near future, emerging as a possible first Middle Eastern venue f🎃or the all-electric series.

After partnering with Formula E as its official airline partner in Season 3 and acting as the title sponsor for races in Paris and New York, the state-owned Qatar Airways confirmed in Doha on Monday it would e♊xtend these same agreements through the 2017/18 campaign.

During a press conference alongside Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, chief executive of Qatar Airways, confirmed plans𒈔 were in place to bring t༒he all-electric single-seater series to Qatar.

"Yes, we will h🍌ave a race in Qatar. It is just a matter of logistics," Al Baker said.

"Once we finalise t𒁏alks with the relevant authorities,♐ we will announce it."

Formula E spokespe♔rson Renato Bisignani added: "We're happy to see the relationship with Qatar Airways continue for this season as well.

"The Midd𒈔le East is an area we are keen on growing our p💖resence, and we're evaluating several options in the region.

"Doha would be a great city to race in, but as always there are many details to look at when🉐 racing in city ce꧙ntres."

Formula E has one of the widest-reaching calendars in global motorsport🐽, staging its races in the heart of cities such as Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Berlin, but is yet to have visited the Middle East region through its four-season history.

Qatar has taken steps to develop local interest in motorsport by hosting MotoGP and World Superbike rounds at the Losail International Circuit, and previously staged WTCC rounds in 2015 an♏d 2016.

Formul🌃a 1 was linked with a race in Qatar back in 2015, but plans never came to fruition.
