Hayya Card

The platform will run smoothly because around 75% of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ticket holders have already signed up for the necessary Hayya Card.

In order to help fans attending this year's FIFA World Cup, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) has opened two Hayya Card support centers. Currently, between 4,000 and 5,000 cards are made every day, but officials anticipate a rise as foreign fans begin to arrive in the nation on November 1.

The Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECCrecently )'s opened Hayya Card service center has the ability to issue 40 cards in five minutes and is soon anticipated to rise to 80 cards.

“About 75 percent of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ticket holders have already applied for Hayya Card. The Hayya Card platform is working really smooth.

The number of applications is giving a positive sign that everyone is able to apply,” said Saeed Al Kuwari, Hayya Card Operations Director at SC speaking during a media tour of the Hayya Card service centre at DECC. 

“The digital Hayya Card is mandatory. This centre will be servicing those who want their cards to be printed though applicants should note this is not mandatory,” he added. 

The Hayya Card is mandatory for all FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ticket holders. It will provide access to stadiums for match ticket holders and free public transport. It will also act as an entry permit for international fans. 

“Everyone wishing to attend a match during the tournament requires a Hayya Card. But only some fan zone and activities will require a Hayya Card - not all; we have a lot of events where public (citizens and residents) will be welcomed,” said Al Kuwari.
