Doha: Qatar World Cup ticket sales are launched at a reduced price on Wednesday with residents and migrant workers who can attend the game with only $ 11 because of the worries in Covid-19.
The authorities have not announced how many fans will be allowed to the stadium for the first World Cup in Arab countries, which operate from November 21 to December 18.
FIFA world government agency opened a draw that offered match tickets of $ 69 for international fans – about a third of less than in Russia 2018 – but tickets for the final can cost up to $ 1.607.
Qatar residents, including migrant workers whose maintenance has become a source of controversy for organizers, will be able to get tickets with only $ 11.
Fans who register now for different packages – for individual games or follow the team, or for special stadium tickets – will enter a draw After the first deadline on February 8 said FIFA was successful in a randomized lottery told on March 8.
Qatar has spent billions of dollars preparing the first winter world cup and FIFA risked many of his prestige to make sure it went smoothly.
Seven stadiums have been built with a destination and one updated, but because there will be no few hotels some fans may have to stay on a cruise ship for the event.
“This is the FIFA World Cup for Qatar, region, and the world, and the products launched today reflect the goal of FIFA to bring beautiful matches to many fans globally,” said Secretary FIFA Fatma Samura.
“The first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and the Arab world will be an extraordinary event,” said Nasser Al Kheater, head of Qatar organizers.
“Qatar can’t wait to unite fans to celebrate passion with them for football, experience a new culture and enjoy everything offered by our country and region.” FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who is now based mainly in Qatar, said one year ago he believes the Pandemic Coronavirus will end when the World Cup begins, and that the match will be played in a full stadium.
