Qatar is hopeful of bringing Formula E to its ca🗹pital, Doha, in the near future, emerging as a possible first Middle Eastern venue forꦬ 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 extend these same agreements through the 2017/𝔍18 campai𓄧gn.

During a press conference alongside Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, ch🍸ief executive of Qatar Airways, confirmed plans were in place to bring the all-electric single-seater series to Qatar.

"Yes, we will have a race in Q෴atar. It is just a matter of logistics," Al Baker said.

"Onceꦬ we finalise talks with the relevant authorities, we will announce i🐷t."

Formula E spokesperson Renato Bisignani added: "We're🧜 happy to see the relationship with Qatar Airways continue for this season as wel🦹l.

"The Middle East is an area we are keeꦺn on growing our presence, and we're eval𝓰uating 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 centres.🍸"

Formula E has one of the widest-reaching calendars in global motorsport, st🌊aging 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-sea﷽son 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 rou🧸nds in 2015 and 2016.

Formula 1 was linked with a race in Qatar back in 2015, but plans never ca✱me to fruition.
