JLT has been named insurance broker for the construction of five stadiums for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.

The broker was awarded the contract by the Qatari government’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy.

Press reports have estimated the construction will cost €49.6bn. JLT declined to comment on the scale and cost of the projects.

JLT will deliver the programme from its offices in London and Dubai.

JLT was awarded the contract as it was the broker for the construction of the London Olympics and Wembley stadiums.

Jeff Powell, chairman of JLT Specialty’s Construction division, said becoming the broker for the project was testament to the quality of its new construction team.

JLT lost some of its most senior construction team members to Arthur J Gallagher in October in
2013.
