A unit from the Pakistani Army departed for Qatar on Monday to join the security personnel assigned for the FIFA World Cup, which will begin in the country in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula this November, earning the Pakistani military yet another distinction.
The force, which is made up of Pakistan Army officers, junior commissioned officers, and troops, will support the Qatari government with security during the biggest and most awaited athletic event to ever take place in Qatar. From November 20 to December 18, 2022 will see the FIFA World Cup.
For the first time ever, the Gulf nation will host the event. For security support during the massive event, it had asked the Pakistani Army. In order to discuss the situation, a four-person delegation from the Qatari interior ministry also travelled to Pakistan in August.
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.
