A contingent of the Pakistani Army departed for Qatar on Monday to join the security personnel assigned for the FIFA World Cup, which will begin there in November. This move brought more honour to Pakistan’s military services.
During the biggest and most awaited sports event to ever take place in Qatar, the contingent, made up of Pakistan Army officers, junior commissioned officers, and troops, will support the Qatari government with security. From November 20 to December 18, 2022, the FIFA World Cup will be held.
The spectacle will be held in the Gulf nation for the very first time. During the massive event, it asked Pakistan Army for security support. In August, a four-person interior ministry delegation from Qatar visited Pakistan to discuss the issue.
The eight-person international training team from FIFA visited Pakistan in September and provided security training for the troops going to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup 2022.
The Pakistan Army and Qatari agreement to provide support during the major football event had previously received clearance from the federal cabinet.
