He explained that the plan to secure the World Cup 2022 includes linking all stakeholders in the country with the involvement of the private sector, in order to achieve security and protection from potential risks and various threats, using all means and methods of work to ensure that the threats do not reach the sites and to affect the facilities of the event or its audience.

He pointed out that this course, which is provided by the response team of serious incidents in the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, comes within the qualification and training program included in the plan of the Police Training Institute to prepare for the World Cup 2022.
