Dhedhi assured Ramiz that he will fund the development of a 200-room five-star hotel near the National Stadium on his own dime. He told him it would be simple for him to contribute $8-9 million to the project. The hotel’s principal goal will be to host international touring teams while also improving on the normal security arrangements.
Dhedhi’s interest in investing in the sport was welcomed by Ramiz. “We need players like them,” Ramiz says. “They will provide [opportunities] for us, and he has vowed to support us.”
