Prime Minister and Minister of Interior HE Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani inaugurated the security force’s official uniform for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 during a ceremony at the Ministry of Interior building on Sunday.
The PM witnessed a visual presentation on the uniforms of the World Cup security force, the locations, protection missions, and the security roles of each unit.
Additionally, the PM witnessed the inauguration of the mechanisms, vehicles, and motorcycles used in the tournament.
The Safety and Security Operations Committee (SSOC) of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 said on Sunday that the new uniform, vehicles and mechanism approved for the championship security force took two-year long strenuous efforts.
President of the SSOC’s Training and Rehabilitation Unit Lt Col Fahad Al Subaie said a committee was formed to produce an exceptional uniform for the security force. The committee did its best to prepare creative uniform, vehicles and motorcycles that attract the fans and simultaneously preserve the security identity and character, he added.
The fabrics used for manufacturing the uniform were tested to be comfortable for security personnel and appropriate for the climate during the tournament. The committee was keen to form a special team work for the World Cup’s Security Force, he added.
Al Subaie expressed hopes that the approved uniform would be patented worldwide as closely related to the police forces in Qatar.
He highlighted the prolonged scrutiny and study of the aspects appropriate for the security of the championship and the main colors selected for the uniform, with red indicating high alert and blue for tranquility.
Al Subaie added that this uniform could be used and adopted in all activities and championships after the World Cup, stressing that there would be intensified campaigns to promote for the uniform among the fans. page 16
