FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has become the most payment-enabled FIFA tournament following the installation of the 5,300 contactless payment terminals by Visa. This move will enable contactless purchases throughout all official venues in the country.
Visa will bring various digital payment solutions to Qatar like ‘Pay with your Face’ which allows users to make payments using facial recognition technology in a collaboration with Qatar National Bank, ‘Card Art Gets Animated’ allows the user’s digital card to feature animated art with the official mascot La’eeb and more.
“As FIFA’s long-standing partner, Visa wants to give football fans from around the world the best way to pay in Qatar, while experiencing exciting new innovations such as the fusion of art, football and technology at Visa’s Masters of Movement venue,” said Dr. Saeeda Jaffar, Senior Vice President and Group Country Manager for GCC at Visa.
“With thousands of contactless payment terminals, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 promises to be the most payment-enabled FIFA tournament ever for the more than one million fans coming to enjoy the magic of football.”
