FIFA and Qatar Airways offer packages for fans with accommodation and tickets with a minimum price of 3,000 euros
To enjoy the Spanish team live at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, you have to scratch your pocket. La Roja’s most loyal fans have been waiting for the big football event for four years, but this time it’s not in Europe. Going to Qatar to cheer for the national team, in addition to requiring numerous official documents, will require significant effort.
Still, FIFA and Qatar Airways have teamed up to offer the various fans around the world the opportunity to attend the World Cup event. The packages range from 3,000 euros to nearly 10,000, including accommodation for almost a week and tickets to the matches.
The first package is called ‘support your team’. It costs 3,390 euros and offers 13 hotel nights including breakfast, an excursion on a luxury cruise and tickets to Spain’s group stage matches against Costa Rica, Germany and Japan. There are cheaper, but not more complete. For 3,000 euros you can enjoy 7 hotel nights and the La Roja matches against Japan and Germany, plus an extra World Cup match. The ‘support your team’ package is the only one that contains all matches of the national team.
And as the competition progresses, so does the price of the packs. Enjoying the eighth and four hotel nights costs 3,500 euros and is almost exhausted. Where the full capacity poster is hung is of the quarterfinals that cost almost 4,000 euros. The last two great packages FIFA offers are the Grand Finals on the one hand, and the Finals and Semifinals on the other. They are both sold out. The first costs more than 6,000 euros and the second almost 10,000.
The Qatari authorities have announced that from November 1, only non-residents with a Hayya card will be allowed to enter. In addition, the described admission requirements must be met. The Qatari Ministry of Health announced that tourists and fans who will attend the 2022 World Cup will no longer have to present a negative PCR test or antigen test upon arrival in the country, although they do have to be vaccinated.
To apply for the Hayya card, it is necessary to purchase a ticket in advance for a World Cup football match. In addition, for tourists who do not have a place to stay in Qatar, it will be necessary to reserve an accommodation. Both the ticket and the accommodation reservation must be entered in the portal to apply for the Hayya card. It is recommended to apply for the card well in advance as it must be validated by the Qatari authorities. A Hayya cardholder may authorize up to three persons who do not have a football ticket to accompany them to Qatar. This authorization can be requested through the Hayya portal itself. The portal to apply for the Hayya card is as follows:
In the event that the accommodation reservation is made through another channel, the hotel establishment must contact the Qatari authorities directly so that they can validate their reservation and use it in the Hayya card application process. In the event that accommodation is chosen in the home of a relative or friend residing in Qatar, they must pre-validate their home on the Hayya portal.
In the case of tourists who are going to make day trips to Qatar, without spending the night, to watch a match, it will be necessary to specify the time and date of the flight tickets in the portal. In this case, it is not necessary to make a hotel reservation. It is recalled that, in case of non-compliance with the commitment to leave Qatar on the same day, a daily fine will be imposed for non-compliance with the conditions of stay.
