Doha: Fans without match tickets will be allowed entry to Qatar starting from tomorrow, December 2, 2022. 

The Ministry of Interior has announced that non-ticketed fans can enter Qatar provided that they have a Hayya Card, a booked hotel reservation, and allot a fee of QR 500

Fans can apply for their Hayya Card on the Hayya platform. A wide selection of hospitality options is available on qatar2022.qa/book. An entry fee of QR 500 also has to be paid for children aged 12 and over. Under 12 will not be charged. 

This was previously announced in a press conference held last month, November 3, stating that this would enable fans across the globe to experience the palpable football atmosphere during the knockout stage, which begins on December 3 with the Round of 16.
