As part of its preparations, Qatar Rail held its annual meeting last month under the theme of “Transport Management For Mega Events” which highlighted the important role of Qatar Rail in making the tournament successful in terms of transporting fans. The Readiness Townhall discussed Qatar Rail`s readiness and preparations considering the main challenges, intensifying the collaboration between all involved parties, in addition to bringing about the subject matter expertise to understand the best practices and learn from challenges faced by previous mega events hosted around the world.

The Doha Metro network has designed to meet all the needs of transporting fans during major sports events.

Qatar Rail is looking forward to contributing to present an exceptional version of the 2022 World Cup, as well as helping to raise the name of Qatar in the field of organizing international sports events.
