Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (Arabic: للاتحاد القطري للسيارات والدراجات النارية, QMMF), founded in 1987, is one of the National Sporting Authorities affiliated with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), with the aim of organising, regulating and developing motorsport in Qatar. The QMMF is currently under the supervision of the Ministry of Sports and Youth.

History

The QMMF was created pursuant to the Decision of the Vice President of the Supreme Council for Youth Welfare No. (86) of 1407 AH, on 21 July 1987. In 2004, the Lusail International Circuit was constructed with support from the Federation and is where the QMMF is currently headquartered. In 2019, the Qatar Motorsports Academy (QMA) was founded by the QMMF, with karting and motorcycling training provided to Qatari and expatriates alike.

The Federation has expanded into sponsoring Qatari drivers to compete in major global events including the 24 Hours of Spa in 2025 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2026.

In 2026, the QMMF and the Turkish Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED) entered into a partnership to facilitate knowledge sharing, encompassing professional expertise in race operations, safety standards, and sustainable practices.

Objectives

The QMMF has multiple objectives set forth by Minister of Sports and Youth Decision No. (19) of 2025:
