UK MILITARY TO HELP KEEP FANS SAFE AT QATAR WORLD CUP, SAYS MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
BRITAIN'S ROYAL AIR FORCE WILL SUPPORT COUNTER-TERRORISM EFFORTS THROUGH AIR
SECURITY OPERATIONS

The British Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy will help to keep fans safe at
the Fifa World Cup 2022 in Qatar, the UK government has announced.
The Ministry of Defence said the RAF and the Navy will help to counter terrorism
and other threats to the tournament, which is due to take place in the country
from November 21 to December 18.
The announcement comes after Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim Al Thani visited Britain
last week and met Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Britain would "join forces" with Qatar to
provide air policing and "make sure citizens from across the world can enjoy
attending the World Cup".
“I am delighted that our joint squadron with the Qatari Emiri Air Force of
Typhoons will patrol the air space during the tournament,” he said.
The announcement follows criticism over the handling of fans at the Champions
League final in Paris on Saturday by French police, who used teargas on
supporters outside the ground.
Thousands of supporters missed the kick-off of the final between Liverpool and
Real Madrid, which was delayed by 36 minutes. This was due to congestion
problems that resulted in large numbers stuck around the Stade de France
perimeter for several hours.
The MoD's activities at the World Cup in Doha will include maritime security
support from the Royal Navy, advanced search training, operational planning and
command and control support, and further specialist advice.
The RAF will support counterterrorism efforts through air security operations
alongside the Qatari Emiri Air Force, the MoD said.
The Joint Typhoon Squadron, also known as 12 Squadron, based at RAF Coningsby in
Lincolnshire and operated by RAF and QEAF pilots, will be in place to tackle
threats to supporters.
The unit was formed in June 2020 and has held regularly exercises in Qatar.
QEAF is overseeing air security for the World Cup, delivering the majority of
operations.
The MoD said Qatar is the only partner with which the RAF operates joint
squadrons — 11 Squadron Qatari Emiri Air Force, the Joint Hawk Training Squadron
at RAF Leeming and 12 Squadron, the Joint Typhoon Squadron at RAF Coningsby.
These partnerships aim to give RAF personnel increased flying hours, provide the
Qatari Emiri Air Force with access to RAF accredited training, and see long-term
investment in RAF infrastructure and training facilities.
