Mo Farah has confirmed that he will compete at the first Diamond League meeting of the season in Qatar.

The 32-year-old double Olympic champion, who has never previously raced in Doha, will take part in the 3,000m event.

"I've heard so many great things about the track, the crowd and the competition in Doha," said the Brit.

"There are always very strong fields in the distances so this will be a great early season test on the track for me."

The Diamond League, which is contested across 14 different locations, will get underway on Friday, May 15.
