The World Cup in Qatar is already here (less than two months, to be exact), and you too want to be a part of the most coveted tournament in the world of football.
This is exactly the time when die-hard football fans order the various packages.
The World Cup in Qatar is going to be something else.
First and foremost, the exotic location, the fact that this is a one-time opportunity to enter a country that at any other time is closed to Israelis.
In addition, this is probably the last World Cup for Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the greats of the generation, and perhaps the two best players to ever play the game.
Just imagine a possible meeting between them in the final - there is no doubt that such an event will break all the viewing records of all time.
In any case, the last game of each of them will be an event that cannot be ignored, and will be remembered for a long time - like Zinedine Zidane's parting act from the World Cup (the blow to the chest of Marco Materazzi), or Diego Armando Maradona's last game against Greece (with the famous drug test that came at the end).

Naturally, two of the most attractive games for the Israeli audience are the meetings between Messi's Argentina and Mexico, and the meeting between Ronaldo's Portugal and the powerful Uruguay.
The quarterfinals that fall on a classic weekend (Friday, Saturday - December 9, 10) also attract a lot of interest and of course the semifinals, which will take place like the entire World Cup, in the same city, day after day (December 13 and 14).
This procedure allows the fanatics among us to attend no less than 8 different games in one trip.

This year, FIFA is planning an unusually invested and special Fan Zone complex, one that will give the fans who come to Qatar an amazing experience beyond the game itself, an opportunity to take pictures, spend time enjoying and being excited with the friends even before the opening whistle.
The organization of the trip includes several steps, starting with choosing a place to stay near the metro or the stadiums, a comfortable flight and tickets in seats according to the different categories.
In any case, this is a one-time event, which provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience to its visitors.
The various companies offer a variety of flights, the TikTik company, for example, leased planes especially for the fans from Israel, with flight prices ranging from $777 for a flight to the opening game to $888 for the quarter and eighth games.
Ticket prices depend as always on your location in the stadium, the importance and attractiveness of the game.
The classic dilemma is when is the right time to order.
And the answer is divided into two.
For the more attractive games, you should go early and secure your place well in advance.
On the other hand, tickets for the other games can usually be obtained even at the last minute.

Gabriel Mizrahi CEO of Tiktik: "From our experience from the previous World Cups, as you get closer to the opening whistle of the tournament, the supply of flights and hotels decreases and as a result the prices increase."
Another piece of good news is the fact that the Qataris will, as a precedent, allow the sale of alcohol in entertainment complexes, despite the fact that according to the country's laws this is a prohibited activity.
