A Polish family praised Qatar for the World Cup’s smooth organization, especially the Hayya Card system, and invited visitors from all over the world to learn more about Qatar’s nature and culture.
Pawel Kulaga, vice chairman of the Qatar Poland Business Council, stated of Hayya, “My reaction is positive, it is simple to obtain and use both online and in the physical form, and my friends didn’t experience any problems either.”
Flying back to Qatar from a business trip on the opening day, the situation at the Hamad International Airport (HIA) and in the Qatar Metro seemed well-managed, said Kulaga, who hope to see Poland meet Croatia in the final, which will be played on December 18.
As many as 10,000 Polish fans are reportedly in Qatar to cheer for their country, which is in the Group C.
Anna Kulaga, his wife, said the fan zones that Qatar has made for the World Cup offered more attractions.
“We live in Lusail Marina area next to the promenade, where I usually walk with our sons in the morning,” she said, adding the city has been made beautiful and is truly up to the global expectations.
About the criticisms levelled against Qatar, Pawel Kulaga indicated those would have its natural decay.
“I hope Qatar will show the world how friendly and interesting a country it is and the citizens and expats will be proud of what they achieved together,” he said, adding it was not easy with all the construction works (during the construction phase), but the outcome is “amazing”.
“Doha and the other cities are looking beautiful and I’m happy all of this will stay after the event to be enjoyed by residents of Qatar,” he said.
Highlighting that 10 years ago Poland along with Ukraine had organised the UEFA European Football Championship in 2012; he said it was a great struggle too and not everything worked as planned, but eventually, it was a great success for both nations and mostly the positive memories stayed.
The inland sea, Zekreet, or Old Souq Al Wakra are three of his favorite destinations in the nation. “The Middle East and Arabia itself are fascinating places, therefore I would recommend fans coming to watch football, to take a deeper dive into Qatar’s nature and culture,” he stated.

When asked to make a prediction regarding the 2022 World Cup winner, he responded “With Robert Lewandowski in Poland, anything is possible. I want to see the championship game between Croatia and Poland since I like to vacation there and they play some pretty amazing football.”
