Tickets for the World Cup in Qatar are now on sale at a reduced cost.

With ongoing worries about COVID-19, ticket sales for the World Cup in Qatar were begun on Wednesday (Jan 19) at lower pricing. Residents and migrant workers may now attend games for as little as US$11.
The first World Cup in an Arab nation, which runs from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18, has yet to declare how many supporters will be permitted into the stadiums.
A ticket for the final, on the other hand, might cost up to $1,607, according to FIFA’s open draw, which gives foreign fans as low as US$69 for individual matches, almost a third less than at Russia 2018.
Even migrant workers who have caused trouble for the organizers will have the opportunity to purchase tickets at prices as low as US$11.
A drawing will take place after the initial deadline on February 8 if fans apply now for the various packages, for individual games or following a team, or for special stadium seats. FIFA has said that lucky supporters would be notified on March 8 if their names were drawn at random.
FIFA is placing a lot of stock on the success of the first-ever winter World Cup, which Qatar has spent a lot of money preparing for.
While seven new stadiums have been constructed and one has been renovated, some attendees may be forced to stay aboard cruise ships due to a lack of nearby hotels.
Fifa Secretary General Fatma Samoura said that FIFA’s mission is to introduce the beautiful game to as many people as possible, and that the goods released today represent that ambition.
As Qatar’s lead organiser Nasser Al Khater put it, “The first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and the Arab world will be a spectacular event”.
Qatar can’t wait to bring football enthusiasts from across the world together to celebrate their mutual love of the sport, explore a new culture and enjoy the best that our nation has to offer.”
Last year, FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who is now based mostly in Qatar, said the coronavirus epidemic would be ended by the time the World Cup kicked off and that all games would be played in full stadiums.
The 32-team competition is expected to draw 1.2 million spectators, according to the game’s organizers.

There are severe limitations on visits to Qatar right now because to the Omicron variety that is devastating other nations, including quarantine for new arrivals.
There are “necessary precautions” in place to ensure the health of the Qatari people, FIFA and the country’s government stated in a statement.
To enter stadiums, fans will require a Hay’ya Card, which may include information on the COVID-19 exam.
FIFA has said that all players, officials, and supporters “must obey the travel instructions of the Qatari authorities.”
