Around 9000 people from Kolkata have already visited Qatar to see the Football World Cup

12 Dec 2022 , 08:22 AM

The excitement surrounding this year’s FIFA World Cup in football-crazed Kolkata has been “unprecedented,” with about 9,000 fans having already traveled to Qatar to see the highlight event and many more expected to come in the coming days, according to officials who talked to ET.

Days before the semi-finals and final next week people are still asking about the availability of tickets, lodging, and travel packages to Qatar.

“Eastern India has sent between 10,000 and 12,000 football supporters to Qatar, including over 9,000 from Kolkata. People are still very motivated to go to the semifinals and championship game, and we anticipate that at least another 1,500 Kolkatans will travel to the Arab nation “Travel Agents’ Federation of India (TAFI) Eastern Region Head Anil Punjabi stated to ET.

For many football fans in Kolkata, the fact that Argentina has advanced to the semifinals is sufficient justification for leaving for Qatar.
