With direct flights connecting major Indian cities to Doha, world-class stadiums and infrastructure, and the guarantee of exciting footballing action, Qatar promises Indian fans an unparalleled fan experience.?

Here's why Indian fans must make their way to Qatar for the AFC Asian Cup?2023?:

A Chance to See the Continent's Best in Action?

The AFC Asian?Cup??is the pinnacle of continental football, featuring the top Asian national teams. The AFC Asian Cup?2023??opening ceremony was a noteworthy celebration of football, which also gave a beautiful message of cross-cultural collaborations, inclusion and respecting differences. It was a mesmerising ode to one of Asia¡¯s most prominent literary works, ¡°The Lost Chapter of Kelileh and Demneh.¡± The entire presentation borrowed cultural influences from the participating nations. The opening match of the tournament was played between Qatar and Lebanon, wherein Qatar beat the team by a score of? 3-0 in front of 82,490 fans. This is officially the highest recorded attendance for an AFC Asian?Cup??opening match.?

World-Class Stadiums for a Football Carnival?

FIFA World Cup Qatar?2022??has left behind a lasting legacy of state-of-the-art footballing infrastructure. A total of 51 matches will be played across nine stadiums during AFC Asian Cup?2023??, including seven stadiums that hosted World Cup matches.?

Indian travellers can expect a carnival atmosphere at the stadiums' modern concourses, hospitality areas and fan zones. The venues guarantee fans an immersive, world-class live sports experience.

Unmatched Convenience Through Compact Distances and Transport Links

One of the perks of attending a tournament in Qatar is the ease of getting around. The farthest distance between any two stadiums is just 75 km! This compact nature allows fans unprecedented flexibility in planning their match schedule.?

Transport logistics have been meticulously planned for fan convenience. Five stadiums can be directly accessed through the Doha Metro rail network. Free shuttle buses will operate from metro stations to outlying venues like Al Bayt, Al Janoub, Al Thumama and and Abdullah bin Khalifa stadiums.

?The revamped Doha Metro provides wheelchair accessand trained customer service officers to assist travellers. The tournament LOC has collaborated with the Ministry of Transport to offer a free Doha Metro day pass to ticket holders on match days. Match tickets will be scanned at Doha Metro stations. Supporters travelling on those days that correspond with their ticket will receive a free day pass.?

Thanks to Qatar's small geographical footprint and modern transport infrastructure, fans will avoid lengthy commutes between stadiums, hotels and key tourist sites. Travelling across Doha during the tournament is a breeze.

Thrilling Off-Field Entertainment Options?

While the main attraction is undoubtedly the high-stakes footballing action, fans can also partake in Qatar's vibrant offerings. Tournament organizers have collaborated with Qatar Tourism to organize music concerts, cultural festivals, international food and shopping festivals and match viewing zones. The full list of events is available on: https://visitqatar.com/intl-en/events-calendar

Football enthusiasts travelling with family can also enjoy Qatar's family-friendly attractions like the Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park. The Lusail Boulevard - lined with luxury retail outlets and fine dining options ¨C is holding a daily parade of nations, celebrating the cultures of various participating teams.?

Fans who want to immerse themselves in Qatar's rich cultural traditions can explore sites like Souq Waqif, the renowned traditional marketplace in Doha, Katara Cultural Village to savour galleries and art, or tour the UNESCO World Heritage site of Al Zubarah - an ancient town that offers glimpses into Qatar's pearl trading past.

Safety and Security across the Tournament?

By hosting a successful FIFA World Cup, Qatar has proven its capabilities in delivering safe, smooth and secure experiences for global fans. Indian supporters can rest assured that the highest standards will be maintained for the AFC Asian Cup?2023??as well.

Fans can expect stringent safety protocols at stadiums, training grounds, hotels and public areas. A total of 6,000 volunteers have been recruited to support with 20 functional areas across the tournament.

Accessibility for Fans With Disabilities?

One area where Qatar has set new benchmarks is accessibility for disabled spectators. All nine Asian Cup stadiums are wheel-chair friendly, offering accessible parking lots, ramps, lifts and wheelchair viewing spaces.

Key venues like Lusail, Education City and Al Bayt stadiums have 'sensory rooms' for fans with autism spectrum conditions, allowing them to take a quiet break from the noise and stimulus of the stadium. Audio commentary services are also available for partially sighted and blind supporters.

Qatar's public transport services such as the Doha Metro and shuttle buses offer wheel-chair accessible travel as well. Disability awareness training has been provided to stadium staff, volunteers, transport operators and public authorities. By addressing these aspects proactively, Qatar has made its sporting events truly inclusive for all.?

With prudent planning, Indian football fans are guaranteed a smooth, safe and exciting expedition to Qatar. Travelling for the AFC Asian Cup 2023? will be an unforgettable, bucket-list experience for any lover of the game. All tickets for the tournament are digital and can be purchased from https://tickets.qfa.qa/afc2023/.?
