Qatar Airways Holidays recently launched extensive travel packages for the inaugural FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021™, welcoming football fans to enjoy the finest Qatari hospitality and follow their favourite team in person. The region’s showpiece tournament will take place from 30 November to 18 December 2021.

As Privilege Club is the Official Frequent Flyer Programme of the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021™, members can earn double Qmiles when they purchase a travel package, including a hotel stay of three nights or more by 31 October 2021. New members who join Privilege Club can also enjoy a sign-up bonus of 1,500 Qmiles when using the enrolment code JOINMECPC21.

Fans will be offered the flexibility to build their own package for the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021™, which includes flights with Qatar Airways, the Official Airline Partner of FIFA. The Build Your Own feature will give them the functionality to choose their preferred travel dates, hotel accommodation and match tickets.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive HE Akbar Al Baker said that not only will the tournament showcase the country’s readiness for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, it will also help unite football fans from the Middle East and North Africa.

The tournament will take place exactly a year before the much-awaited inauguration of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ and will serve as an opportunity to test operations and facilities ahead of the first FIFA World Cup™ in the Middle East.

The tournament’s draw was conducted after the qualifying round earlier in June 2021, grouping the 16 contesting nations in four groups:

  • Group A: Qatar, Iraq, Oman and Bahrain
  • Group B: Tunisia, UAE, Syri­­­­a and Mauritania
  • Group C: Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine
  • Group D: Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon and Sudan

The event itself will offer travellers a glimpse into the spirit of Qatar and the world-class stadiums set to host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. The magnificent Al Bayt Stadium located in the northern city of Al Khor is scheduled to contest the tournament’s inaugural and final matches.
