Hi blurt.word lover friends! 🙂How are you guys? I hope all of you are in good health.
I haven't made a post in a long time because I'm busy in real life. So in this post I want to share information, namely important things that you should pay attention to! If you watch the 2022 World Cup match in Qatar.
Anyone want to watch football there? or even on vacation. um... As we all know, Qatar is officially the host of the 2022 World Cup. So, in this case, travelers who want to watch the biggest global football competition, which will be held from November 20 to December 18, must pay attention to various local regulations.
I have summarized these rules from several reliable sources. From security analyst at Riskline, England, Diego Maloney warned World Cup fans who will go to Qatar to pay attention to what they are not allowed to do while in this rich country. According to him, if they violate Qatari laws, anyone will be punished. To that end, here's a list of things you shouldn't do there, or you'll get in big trouble. Immediately, here are 4 things you should pay attention to:
1. You are prohibited from drinking alcohol
Qatar has imposed strict controls on the presence of alcoholic beverages. Even international hotels also provide very high taxes for those who want to drink it. For a pint of more or less, you have to pay around $23.16. But those who can drink will have to buy a hospitality package to watch the games. For that Diego expects Qatar to lower its normal fees, to attract more tourists.
Now! Even so, you should still avoid this! Do not let you fall asleep with the price offered. Diego also explained the possibility of a hefty fine and a six-month jail term for anyone caught drunk in public as normal.
“Once the tournament is over, the law will be fully enforced, which is worrying for the people imprisoned there,” he said.
But recently the organizing committee for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, has relaxed the rules on alcoholic beverages by opening a special area for supporters who want to drink this liquor. The venue will still be monitored by officials there, to avoid dangerous disturbances in public areas and warnings will also be issued if fans try to smuggle liquor into the stadium, it can be a big problem for you in Qatar. So don't even try it!
2. There is a dress code
With sharia law in force there, fans are encouraged to dress modestly and cover their genitals while in Qatar, with strict supervision there it is certain that the person will be warned to wear his clothes again.
“Taking your shirt off in the Fanzone will come with at least a warning and demanding that you put your shirt back on,” claimed Diego. For this reason, men are not allowed to wear clothes that reveal their shoulders and knees. You can wear long cargo pants and long chinos. As for women, can use clothes that cover the shoulders and do not show cleavage.
Diego also predicts the rulesdress will be much tighter if you are around important buildings, and mosques.
3. Not allowed to show relationships in public
Qatar strictly prohibits LGBTQ. Unfortunately, not long ago the organizers allowed the rainbows to just hold hands there.
But then again, for the people of Qatar this may still be foreign to see. So if they are LGBTQ people who dare to hold hands, they may be the center of attention than heterosexual couples who do.
“If you are a member of the LGBTQ community, holding hands will get more attention than if a straight couple is doing it,” he said.
It should be noted that kissing in this country is strictly not allowed in public. Especially for unmarried couples. Diego also has not confirmed what law they will receive if they violate it. For that, avoid doing these things!
4. Very Tight Security
A country that many football fans from all over the world will visit, Qatar has installed around 15,000 facial recognition cameras throughout public areas, fans and stadiums, to constantly monitor the behavior of fans.
For visitors who are caught violating the rules, they must be prepared to be visited by police officers who are on guard there. It is known that there are around 5,000 additional officers who have been trained to support this biggest football tournament.
Diego also advises not to record too much on your phone, as fans have been asked not to do so. Why? It will be disapproved of by the organizers, even sending texts and videos will be a mistake because your message can be monitored.
For that, for those of you who want to fly to Qatar to watch the biggest football event in the world, be sure to find out in advance what you can and can't do there.
One of them on the Qatar Foreign Office's travel advice site, will include up-to-date information on entry requirements, local laws and customs, as well as other important information regarding the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
That's what I can share in this post, hopefully it's useful. Stay safe and stay healthy health is wealth.
