Away game: Qatar World Cup looms as money-spinner for Dubai

Dubai is preparing for a World Cup influx of fans. The UAE did not qualify for the tournament. Dubai has more relaxed social standards than Qatar. France's Firas Yassin booked a day trip to see France play Denmark. The FIFA-licensed Expat Sport sells match hospitality packages for World Cups in Doha. It is estimated that about a million fans could visit Dubai during the event. Qatar is expecting a similar number. There was a blockade between Qatar and its neighbours for two years. FIFA is offering multiple-entry visas for FIFA World cups. UAE is also offering special deals for fans with tickets for matches.
