Abstract

No Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus cases were detected during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar in November–December 2022, which attracted 1.4 million visitors. Robust monitoring mechanisms instituted by Qatar before and during the FIFA WC can serve as a template for future similar events to detect infectious diseases of global importance.
