Qatar to host ‘Fan Cup’ during FIFA World Cup
A statement from the Qatari government confirmed intentions to host a five-a-side match for spectators during the FIFA Fan Festival in Al Bidda Park.
The competition, which will be organized in a style akin to the World Cup, will offer fans of the 32 qualified teams the chance to participate.
As long as they are citizens of the teams they want to represent, participants above the age of 18 are welcome to compete from November 29 through December 2.
The victorious team that advances past the group games and knockout stages will be declared the winner.
Fatma Al Nuaimi, executive director of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, hailed the event and urged followers everywhere to take part.
“The success of the inaugural FIFA Globe Cup in the Middle East and Arab world is largely due to the support of the fans. We are excited to host this competition because we think it will foster an exciting atmosphere and bring together soccer lovers from all over the world who share a love for the game, according to Al Nuaimi.
Anyone can apply, but it should be noted that expenses will not be covered by any party, as applicants will be subjected to prices.
Qatar’s first-ever fan festival
Thousands of supporters attending the international sporting event will be accommodated at Qatar’s Al Bidda Park for the 2022 World Cup.
The event will make its debut as a “reimagined” FIFA Fan Festival will feature music and cultures from many regions.
In contrast to the World Cup, the FIFA Fan Festival will feature digitalized football games and the presence of FIFA Legends.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated, “We are happy to offer a new vision for the entertainment experience around future FIFA World Cup activities to support our aim to make football truly global, accessible, and inclusive.
The first Middle East World Cup will begin in less than 70 days and will draw millions of spectators from all around the world.
