Problems with FIFA’s mobile application for World Cup match tickets have delayed fans from getting into the stadium to watch England play Iran in the second game of the tournament.
Fans arrive for the World Cup group B soccer match between England and Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium Doha, Qatar, Monday, Nov. 21, 2022. Problems with FIFA's mobile application for World Cup match tickets have delayed fans from getting into the stadium to watch England play Iran in the second game of the tournament. Hundreds of fans were lined up outside the Khalifa International Stadium less than an hour before the 4 p.m. kickoff in Doha.
Although some fans had their ticket purchase verified with email checks, others appeared to have been sent into the stadium without further checks. FIFA acknowledged in a statement that “some spectators are currently experiencing an issue with accessing their tickets.” While the fans were waiting outside, play had stopped for about seven minutes to deal with Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand's facial injury. He continued playing briefly but then was substituted.
