Reuters: Taiwanese (region) World Cup fans may be classified as Chinese

Reuters said that Qatar World Cup officials have repeatedly said that fans of all “nationalities” are welcome to attend this World Cup, and all ticket holders must apply for use. In addition to the Hayya card that identifies fans, this certificate can also be used as an entry visa for fans to Qatar.

To apply for a Hayya card, you need to operate on an application (APP) called "Hayya to Qatar 2022".

Reuters said that Said Kuwari, the person in charge of the Hayya card project for the Qatar World Cup, told reporters that he "believes" that the fan ID system is likely to change the nationality of fans holding "Taiwanese passports" classified as "China". "Or we will provide something specifically for them," Kuvari later added, without elaborating.

In addition, according to Kuwari, the organizers of the Qatar World Cup are able to collect the accurate information required through a specific system, so no matter what nationality the fans choose when applying for the Hayya card, they will be approved for entry.

According to Reuters, in response to the fact that the "Taiwan" (Taiwan) and "Chinese Taipei" (Chinese Taipei) options did not appear in the drop-down options, Taiwan's foreign affairs department spokesman Ou Jiangan claimed that the "Taiwan Representative Office in Saudi Arabia" had tried to investigate the situation and "Currently, we are still waiting for a response from relevant Qatari institutions," it said.

Reuters mentioned that Taiwan has no diplomatic relations with Qatar. Like most countries, Qatar only recognizes Beijing.

Regarding the Taiwan Strait issue, Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said last month that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory and the Taiwan issue is entirely China’s internal affair and does not tolerate any external interference. If the "Taiwan independence" forces misjudge the situation and collude with external forces to take risks, we will take decisive measures to crush them.
