Easing it further for international fans, Hassan Rabeea Al Kuwari, Marketing and Communications Executive Director of the Asian Cup Qatar 2023 Local Organizing Committee, affirmed that it is not necessary for fans to obtain an accreditation for Hayya, as was the case at the World Cup.
“For the Asian Cup, there is no special thing like Hayya card. It will be business as usual for fans. It’s not mandatory to have a Hayya card to enter the stadium. Nor is it linked to the tickets,” he said in a media interaction.
The Indian football team, who will participate in two Group B fixtures Australia and Uzbekistan at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, will bank on the 700,000 residing Indians to fill the stadiums.
