The local organising committee of The World Aquatics Championships - Doha 2024 - has unveiled the official logo and brand for the event, scheduled to take place in the Qatari capital from 2nd to 18th February 2024.

The logo and branding were announced after the flag handover ceremony held on the final night of competition at the World Aquatics Championships - Fukuoka 2023 in Japan on Sunday.

With Doha 2024 Vice-Chairman and Qatar Olympic Committee Secretary General Jassim bin Rashid Al Buainain receiving the World Aquatics flag which symbolised the change of hosts, he advised “we have succeeded in attracting the World Aquatics flagship and most anticipated event.

"This is reflected in the foundation that Qatar possesses, including its world-class infrastructure, facilities, and the know-how that empowers Qatar to provide a sporting experience of the highest calibre.”

Noting that the event's logo includes "colours that are both uplifting and meaningful", Al Buainain explained that the primary colour of the Doha 2024 logo is blue and comes from the World Aquatics emblem while the Arabian Gulf is then represented by turquoise and light green hues while orange represents the sunset.

Khaleel Ibrahim Al Jaber, General Director of the Doha 2024 Local Organising Committee, added "we are proud to announce the official brand of the World Aquatics Championships - Doha 2024

“The voices of all five continents can be heard echoing this call as we look forward to welcoming the elite athletes of aquatic sports and the fans in Doha, promising an unforgettable sporting event."

The World Aquatics Brand showcases five rows to reflect the world's five continents. Six points in the middle of them stand for the six aquatic sports - swimming, water polo, diving, high diving, artistic swimming, and open water swimming - with the movement of water inspiring the brand’s cohesive fluid shapes in the rows and points.

World Aquatics President Husain Al Musallam expressed excitement about Qatar’s hosting the next edition of the World Aquatics Championships, concluding “I am delighted that the World Aquatics World Championships will be in Doha next year.

“Qatar has an outstanding reputation as an exceptional host country for major sports events, and I am extremely excited to see Doha welcome our aquatics family.”

The World Aquatics Championships - Doha 2024 will include around 2,600 athletes from over 190 nations competing at three main venues: the Aspire Dome, Hamad Aquatic Centre, and the Old Doha Port.
