Thousands of private security personnel are expected to work at the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar. They will be responsible for the security of the tournament and the people attending it. Qatar has signed partnerships with governments and private security companies. These include the UK, France, Italy, and the US. The country has also inked MOUs with Morocco, Turkey, and Pakistan. Qatar has been receiving more and more media attention in recent months.
Last month, a Danish TV crew was threatened by a security guard in Doha. The security guard reportedly threatened to break the camera and threatened to beat the crew. Qatar’s Supreme Committee for the Delivery and Legacy, the local organizing committee of the World Cup, issued an apology for the incident. The security committee also launched the uniforms of its security force. The committee has about 32,000 government and 17,000 private security personnel. The security of the tournament is a joint task that will be administered from a coordination center.
Qatar has also announced that it will use military capabilities to protect the World Cup from security threats. The country has already conducted training simulations, involving thousands of personnel. It has installed 15,000 security cameras with facial recognition technology. The World Cup security force will be based in Doha and will include commandos. They will be armed with sophisticated weapons. They will also use vehicles for swift movement. Their duties will include keeping vigil from vantage positions.
Turkey has also announced that it will send over 3,000 riot police officers to Qatar for the World Cup. It has also announced that it will send 50 bomb specialists to the country to protect the World Cup.
The United States has also signed a deal with Qatar to help secure the World Cup. The agreement is being signed by US Defense Department Senior Defence Official and Military Defence Attache Colonel Timothy Drifki. The agreement aims to define the responsibilities between both parties, and to specify technical arrangements related to security cooperation. The US armed forces will also contribute to the security of the World Cup.
Qatar has also hired thousands of private security workers from around the world. They will provide security for the World Cup stadiums. Qatar has installed 15,000 security cameras with facial recognition technology. They will be able to recognize a person’s face based on the photo that they upload to the Hayaa card, a digital identification system.
The World Cup is expected to draw more than a million visitors to Qatar, and will also attract a large number of cyber criminals. The country has invested $1.1 billion to protect its systems from cyber attacks. There have already been reports of hackers taking advantage of significant events to access technical data and steal credentials.
Qatar has also faced a lot of criticism over its treatment of foreign workers. Many migrant workers have died while building the stadiums for the World Cup. Qatar has stepped up its military activities, and has called up hundreds of civilians to serve in the armed forces.
