To allow supporters to take in the football mania of the knockout stages, Qatar has altered the admittance requirements.
On game days, ticket holders receive free access to the metro and bus services, as well as entry into Qatar and the stadiums, thanks to the Hayya card, which doubles as a fan ID.
