The Supreme Committee hails the Hayya card as the next-generation smart technology. For fans of the FIFA World Cup, it will serve as a Fan ID. Every single person physically attending the matches in Qatar needs to have a Fan ID and a verifiable match ticket to move to the stadium on the day of the matches. With the use of the Hayya card, one can get access to FIFA World cup tickets and other services provided by Hayya.
Those who want to take the card will need to send in their applications. Once their applications are approved, they will get access to a valid Match ticket and can also access the stadium where the match is due.
To attend matches, an individual can and must have only one Hayya card with them. Each in a family or among friends must have their own Hayya card.
