Calgary soccer fan who worked on Qatar World Cup committee ready for trip of a lifetime
For 18 years Bruce Hallady and his family called Qatar home. It’s where his kids were born and a raised – a place they call their second home.
During his years on the committee, Halladay laid the foundation for the computer systems for the global tournament.“I still feel ownership for a small part of what the country has been able to deliver,” Halladay said with a laugh. “I feel like I’m the teenager that I was the last time they qualified. I’m just looking forward to going back. It’s going to be a great experience and the fact that Canada is there just puts the cherry on top,” Halladay said.
He’s hoping that young people will be inspired both to play soccer and by the fan experience that comes from the enhanced technology.
