How to go to the World Cup without a ticket?

We already made it clear that FIFA is also allowing the non ticketed fans to enter the World Cup from December 2. But how do you go to the Qatar World Cup? Now you might think about booking a flight and flying to Qatar but that’s not enough. 

Even now you have to follow a few steps to enter Qatar. But don’t panic because these are a few simple steps. In order to travel to Qatar, follow:

  • Apply for a Hayya Card. Though you are not one of those ticketed fans who had to go through a whole procedure to reach Qatar, you still need to apply for a Hayya Card. It is an essential requirement for anyone who wishes to enter the FIFA World Cup 2022 as well as the country during the tournament. 
  • You can simply apply for the Hayya Card online in a few minutes through FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 website which is an official website for the tournament and responsible for providing details and resolving queries. You can also apply through Hayya to Qatar 22 mobile app. 
  • No third step. That’s the simplicity FIFA has provided its fans. 

Why do you need a Hayya Card?

Hayya Card is your ticket to Qatar and the 2022 FIFA World Cup whether you have a ticket to the World Cup or not. During the tournament, it’s compulsory for fans to have a Hayya Card to enter the country. FIFA World Cup 22 also officially tweeted that fans without tickets must still apply for a Hayya Card to enter Qatar. 

It works as fan I’D for an individual and ensures the safety and security of fans. “All parties will work to ensure the safety and security of the fans. We welcome everyone and we all cooperate to ensure that the tournament is a success” says al-Nuaimi. 

Hayya Card brings you a lot of other benefits as well. As a fan I’D, Hayya Card provides free access to metro and bus transportation services. Also, if you are a Hayya Card Holder you can stay in Qatar until January 23, 2023 without any restriction. 

Qatar has devoted itself completely to FIFA World Cup fans. It’s putting every effort to make sure that FIFA fans face no problem and are treated well. The official health spokesman for the FIFA World Cup, Yousef al-maslamani announced before the world cup kicked off that a website has been launched with full detail about clinics and hospitals. 

He said “Fans can access the free helpline by calling 16000 for information about accessing medical cards, when needed,”. 

Do you still need Covid 19 negative report?

Absolutely not. This is proof that things are slowly getting back to normal. Initially FIFA and the Qatari Government put a lot of travel restrictions under Covid 19 guidelines but days before the tournament started on November 20, 2022, an announcement came out that the government cancelled the majority of these restrictions.

From November 1, travellers no longer needed a negative Covid 19 PCR or Rapid Antigen tests to enter the country. They are also not required to pre-register the Government’s Eteraz health application to enter Qatar.
