After a meeting between the Ecuadorian ambassador to Qatar, Pascual del Cioppo, and Yasir Al Jamal, General Director of the Supreme Committee for the Delivery and Legacy of the State of Qatar (SC), it was confirmed that due to the advancement of the inaugural meeting of the World Cup 2022, Ecuadorian fans who have reserved their accommodation from November 21 will have free accommodation.
The Ecuadorian ambassador to Qatar, Pascual del Cioppo, confirmed to PRIMICIAS that the stay for Ecuadorians will not have an additional cost.
Well, through a statement it was made official that “Ecuadorians who scheduled their stay from November 21, will be assisted, so that they can stay from November 20, without any additional cost due to change of dates.”
This, as long as its management has been carried out through the FIFA portal and proves its entry to the first match of the 2022 World Cup.
The change in programming (advance it from November 21 to 20) by order of FIFA generated doubts and concern in compatriots who had already scheduled their stay in Qatar.
However, fans of Ecuador will be able to experience this historic moment, as the Ecuadorian soccer team will play, for the first time in its history, an opening match.
The meeting between Qatar and Ecuador corresponds to Group A and will be played on Sunday, November 20 at 11:00 a.m. in our country, at the Al Bayt stadium with a capacity for 60,000 spectators.
Prior to the commitment, an opening ceremony is planned with an artistic and musical show, which will exhibit the culture of the host country.
