Security at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where two million people are expected, will be "very tight" as all the fans will be in one city, the FIFA president said, Gianni Infantino, Sunday in Costa Rica.
“All fans around the world are welcome to celebrate, party, watch the matches. But if anyone wants to come and start a fight or whatever, obviously they won't be welcome and we're all going to be very strict, because everyone's safety is the most important thing."
, Infantino said at a press conference after the inauguration of a soccer field in San José.
According to the FIFA official, "nearly two million people from all over the world" are expected for the World Cup (Nov 20-Dec 18), in this country of 2.6 million inhabitants.
And the question of security is all the more crucial as "we are going to have fans from all countries in the same city, not just fans from both countries playing a match one day, everyone will be there all the time “, he underlined.
“The preparation, of course, is not simple, it is not easy, there are many issues that need to be considered in terms of security, accommodation,

The World Cup in Qatar “will be like when a child goes to Disneyland for the first time and sees the rides and the toys.
For football fans it will be a unique experience,” he concluded.
