Doha: Several officials from the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) have again stressed Qatar's readiness to host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 during their participation in a Twitter live session organized by the Nadeeb Qatar. According to the officials, the tournament is an opportunity to reflect and highlight the Arab and Qatari heritage and culture.
Executive Director of Sales, Marketing, and Communication for FIFA World Cup 2022 Hassan Rabia Al Kuwari confirmed that the new ticket sales process will be made directly without the lottery system. The lottery system for selling tickets followed previously was aimed at providing a fair opportunity in the purchase process for all fans.
Al Kuwari noted the need to purchase tickets through FIFA's official website to avoid being exposed to fraud. It is expected that the remaining tickets will be offered at a later time if they are available after the ticket sale period on Aug. 16, he added.
For his part, the Executive Director of the Housing Department at SC Omar Al Jaber stated that there are many housing options for the tournament which are updated daily to increase housing options. These options include apartments, villas, regular hotels, and floating hotels, hosting family, relatives and friends.
The services that will be provided in the apartments and villas will be carried out through a company specialized in hotel services to offer an integrated service with a rating of 4 and 5 stars according to the location of the property and the services available in these properties, while the services available on ships are of a 5-star rating. The number of rooms in the two ships reached 4000 rooms, including 100 rooms for people with disabilities, and all rooms accommodate approximately 9,000 people. There are also entertainment activities that will be on the two ships.
The Executive Director of the Housing Department at SC added that among the housing options for people with disabilities, there are two projects submitted by Barwa Company to equip a number of rooms to meet the needs of people with disabilities to provide them with comfortable housing.
The official spokesman for the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) Khaled Al Naama said that Qatar's hosting of the World Cup 2022 is the most prominent event in the region.
He revealed that the current period is witnessing continuous meetings held daily between the joint working teams at FIFA and the SC. He explained that these are coordinating meetings between all teams, especially after the infrastructure of the tournament was completed 100 percent, with only the official inauguration of Lusail Stadium remaining, which will be held soon.
The SC official spokesman explained that there is a hotline affiliated to the Hayya platform that works in Arabic and English, and with the World Cup approaching, the rest of the FIFA-approved languages will be included. With the start of the tournament, the current hotline service will be provided to many offices on the ground to provide information to fans in coordination with Qatar Tourism.
Al Naama spoke about the Qatari artist Bouthayna Al Muftah, who designed the official poster for the tournament, in addition to the fact that the tournament is an opportunity to show Qatari talents and the bright aspects of Arab and Qatari civilization and culture.
Al Naama revealed that the opportunity is still open to register in the volunteer program during the tournament, adding that there is a recently launched decorating competition that is open to individuals and companies in order to contribute to the decoration of some places in the country. The tournament is an opportunity to attract artistic talents from the Arab world to participate in cultural performances that will be outside the stadiums, which is an opportunity for non-professionals in the arts side of the Arab countries, he said.
The SC Spokesman pointed out that during the tournament there will be two media centers, the first is a major broadcasting center for media authorized for broadcasting rights and approved by FIFA, and the second is for the Supreme Committee.
For his part, Executive Director of“Hayya” platform Saeed Al Kuwari confirmed that the“Hayya” card is one of the basic requirements before arriving in the country, and it is related to the purchase of tickets to attend the tournament's matches.
