At opening game | Fan disaster in front of the World Cup stadium – football

First problems for the World Cup organizers. While the empty ranks at the opening game became a PR disaster for Qatar, these pictures at the fan festival in Doha also made negative headlines. The security forces seem overwhelmed with the crowds of fans in Al Bidda Park in Doha. There are riots, scuffles with the folders. Local police are having trouble getting the situation under control. Many visitors have to climb over the barriers to gain space and to prevent worse. Still, some are injured in the onslaught.
