Contributing to the success of major events hosted by Qatar

Since the launch of services, the Doha Metro has played an instrumental role in the success of more than 20 key local, regional, and international sports events and tournaments. Unprecedented operational plans were developed to serve the fans of these tournaments, while ensuring the safety of all network users.

One of the most significant contributions of the Doha Metro was in the success of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where it played a key role in facilitating the hosting of this global tournament — 51% of the fans used the Metro to reach the stadiums. Moreover, the Metro transported nearly 17.4 million passengers during the tournament.

Doha Metro services have provided an effective alternative to commuting by car, facilitating individual movement, and managing crowds. It has also become an ideal choice for transportation for both residents and visitors during various events, serving as a key pillar of an advanced and sustainable railway system that meets the needs of Qatar’s people and enhances the tourist experience for its visitors.
