Tamim is the fourth son of Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. He became heir apparent in 2003 when his older brother Sheikh Jassim renounced his claim to the throne. He became emir when his father abdicated in his favor in 2013. Tamim has been involved in efforts to raise Qatar's international profile through hosting sports events such as the 2022 FIFA World Cup, as well as buying Paris Saint-Germain F.C.
Tamim was regarded by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre as the most influential Muslim in the world in 2022[1] and ranks third in 2023.[2]
