Before departure, the Chinese team delegation made detailed preparations. After arriving at Doha Airport, according to the local epidemic prevention requirements of Qatar, the Chinese team delegation was in a “bubble” closed loop of epidemic prevention throughout the process. The delegation did not perform a nucleic acid test at the airport, but took the bus directly to check in to the hotel after entering the country, and performed a nucleic acid test in the hotel. This arrangement reduces the entry time of the Chinese team and also reduces the risk.

After arriving at the hotel, the delegation received an epidemic prevention guide issued by Qatar. During their stay in Qatar, the delegation must accept the protection of the “epidemic bubble” in accordance with the relevant provisions of the epidemic prevention guidelines. According to this anti-epidemic guide, the Chinese team will basically only be able to perform activities in “hotels, training grounds and competition venues” in the next month. The delegation underwent a nucleic acid test at the hotel and then went into a 12-hour quarantine. Li Tie also posted a box lunch during the quarantine period on social media, and wrote: “The team successfully arrived in Doha, Qatar. According to the requirements of the health and epidemic prevention department of the Qatar government, we need to pass the nucleic acid test before we can move in the specified area. Before the hotel conducts nucleic acid tests and waits for the test results to come out, they can only eat a boxed lunch in the room for one day.” The training plan originally arranged by the National Football Team on the 26th was cancelled, and the training in Doha can only start today.
