Significant FIFA tournaments will be covered by the agreement, such as the FIFA World Cup 2026, FIFA Woman’s World Cup 2027, FIFA World Cup 2030, and all youth men’s and women’s competitions, starting with the FIFA U-17 World Cup currently taking place in Indonesia.
Through events and several digital channels, Qatar Airways will be able to interact more deeply with fans. With a unique Qatar Airways platform, football fans will soon have access to exclusive travel packages that include match tickets, flights, and lodging for a few FIFA events.
The alliance between the two was started in May 2017 and this renewed cooperation will only serve to further the growth of football across the globe.
