A 500 strong Qatar football fan group travelling to the Bahrain National stadium required two full Qatar Airways flights to accommodate them all. The Qatar team is sure to appreciate the extra support from the stands as they compete in a crucial opening game against the Bahrain team for the third round of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. The Qatar Football Association chartered the two flights to ensure that a large contingent of fans would be on hand to cheer for the team.

It is an acknowledgment by the team management of the crucial role that fan support plays in team performance. The significance of the game for the rest of the qualifying round is clear, as Qatar's goal of qualifying for the fourth stage is on the line. Qatar is currently perched 12 spots above Bahrain in the FIFA rankings, but Bahrain holds a 9-7 advantage going into the match.

Travel enthusiast Paulomi Bhatti started a group travelling club for women called The World at Her Feet in the Middle East to provide discounts and companionship for solo women travelers.

This ladies only travel group that organizes trips to destinations worldwide. It provides an ideal solution for women who want to travel but don't want to do so alone. Paulomi said she has always loved travel since she was a young girl, and wanted to share that excitement with other women. She got the idea to start The World at Her Feet after meeting like minded women travelers like Piya Bose, the founder and owner of Girls on the Go Club. The two adventurous women decided to go into business together and create a unique travel club targeted to other women travelers from the Middle East.
