Sport for Qatar after Argentina - Saudi Arabia (photo: Paz Hasdai, editing: Nir Chen)
More failures in the organization of the World Cup in Qatar: tens of thousands of fans were stuck in long lines today (Tuesday) at the end of the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia, which took place at the Lusail Stadium.
Doha's new subway was unable to effectively deal with the congestion and successfully evacuate the multitudes who came to the game, and thus thousands of fans had to stand in line for over two hours just to get to the metro station.
After that, of course, another half hour drive to the city center awaited them.
And this is even before the trip to the city center (photo: Walla! system, Paz Hasdai, sent to Qatar)
It should be noted that the queues were organized.
Thousands of police and volunteers maintained order, but progress was made sluggishly.
This is not the first time that the evacuation of a stadium in Qatar was not done smoothly, because even in the opening match at the El Beit stadium, fans arrived at their destination with a great delay due to the need to use buses and shuttles to take them from the distant stadium to the nearest metro station.
Al Beit Stadium is the only one in Doha that cannot be reached directly by metro.
Yesterday, according to media reports, there were also complaints about a problem with ticket reading at the Netherlands vs. Senegal match, and many claimed to have been left out even though they had purchased tickets.
More in Walla!
