Will the 2022 World Cup repeat the epic tragedy of India? Many countries have negotiated to deploy military forces to prevent riots


The quadrennial football World Cup will be held in Qatar this year, and more than 1.2 million fans are expected to watch the World Cup between the start of the World Cup on November 21 and the finale on December 18, considering the large number of fans. The spectator area of the World Cup can not help but worry about whether the World Cup will repeat the football tragedy that happened in Indian football this year.


The riots in Indonesia's football league in early October, which left hundreds of people dead, including two riot police, have left fears in the air. Such large-scale unrest has also been hailed as the darkest day in the history of world football.


However, in order to ensure the safety of the event, Qatar , the host country of this World Cup, has signed a number of safety cooperation agreements with about 13 countries, and recently conducted a five-day safety drill with partners from other countries. According to local reports, the exercises are designed to test emergency preparedness and response capabilities.


It is reported that Qatar will deploy as many as tens of thousands of personnel to form a security force to ensure that the World Cup can be carried out smoothly in a safe situation.

As of today, seven countries are known to have reached security cooperation agreements with Qatar this year. Turkey will send more than 3,000 riot police to help secure stadiums and hotels, as well as 100 special operations police officers, 50 bomb specialists and 80 sniffer dogs. In addition, Turkey has trained 677 Qatari security personnel in 38 different professional fields.


Pakistan agreed in August to send troops to Qatar to improve security. France deployed about 220 security personnel to the game to ensure the safety of fans, including French nationals.


Morocco also sent cybersecurity experts to Qatar last month to assist. The MoD also deployed forces including the Royal Navy to support site search training, operational planning, maritime security and command and control. The U.S. Department of Defense also provides assistance with technical arrangements for the Armed Forces. Former Jordanian soldiers from the United Arab Emirates will also lend a hand to the World Cup.


In addition, with the World Cup looming, Qatar has also expanded the scope of security operations. A central command center has been established to monitor security camera footage at eight World Cup stadiums.
