Qatar 2022: Football World Cup tickets go on sale

Al Jazeera  

Neither FIFA nor the local organising committee has announced how many fans will be allowed into stadiums. Tickets for the Qatar 2022 World Cup have been put on sale with prices for residents wanting to attend the games starting at 40 Qatari riyals, the cheapest for locals since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Neither FIFA nor the local organising committee has announced how many fans will be allowed into stadiums for the first World Cup in an Arab country, which runs from November 21 until December 18. “The first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world will be an extraordinary event,” said Nasser al-Khater, CEO of Qatar 2022. Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers and its human rights record have been under the spotlight since it was awarded the hosting of the 2022 World Cup in 2010.
