The Al Bidda Park in Doha hosted a massive festival at 4 P.M. local time but fans decided to surprise the park authorities by arriving a little early. There were long lines starting to form almost half an hour before the event began. Due to the chaos made by the crowd, the park was opened at 4:30.

The fans that traveled to Doha for the exciting festival had a disappointing start to their tournament as they had to wait for the gates to open for hours. They also did not have access to water as there are no shops or retailers around Al Bidda park making them crave something as basic as water.

According to reports, Al Bidda park can hold up to 40,000 people at once. Due to the early arrival of fans, the park was overcrowded and a lot of supporters had to wait in queues before entering the venue.
