General Authority of Customs (GAC) chairman Ahmed bin Abdullah Al Jamal has said the authority has started an integrated maintenance project for the Abu Samra border crossing, which will continue until September next year, to cover all the requirements of the tourism and commercial sectors before the start of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

In a statement to reporters on the sidelines of the second Supply Chain Management Conference held on Tuesday, Al Jamal also revealed that the authority is about to launch a special program for managing sporting events, the most important of which is the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and said it is an outstanding program and considered the first of its kind in organizing and managing major sporting events.

He explained that the program will work to simplify all customs procedures through a window in which all relevant authorities, within and outside Qatar, will be dealt with in coordination with the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy.
