Barca game

This is the second high-profile football match to be held in Qatar this month.

A week and a half ago, some 18,000 people turned up to watch Spanish football giant FC Barcelona beat Saudi’s Al Ahli 5–3 in a friendly match.

That game reportedly went off without a hitch, in terms of crowd control, ambiance and overall entertainment value.

This marked a big win for Qatar, which has struggled with ticketing chaos during many past sporting events.

Are you going to tonight’s game? Thoughts?
