The 29-day tournament will be the first major global sporting event with a large number of spectators since the Covid pandemic erupted in December 2019, killing over six million people.
Qatari citizens and residents will also no longer be required to undergo a PCR or rapid antigen test within 24 hours of returning from a trip abroad, according to the health ministry.
The new regulations apply to all visitors arriving after November 1, when Qatar will be closed to anyone who does not have a Hayya card, which is required for all ticket holders and their guests, players, media, staff, and officials.
Qatar will cancel the pre-arrival covid test before the World Cup, according to the Health Ministry.
