On 19-20 January, the Council of Europe organised a training webinar on international police cooperation and the National Football Information Points (NFIPs), in the context of a project of cooperation with the State of Qatar for the 2022 Football World Cup.

Several experts from nine NFIPs across Europe shared with Qatar's public safety officials their experiences from previous tournaments and their expertise in international police cooperation in the field of football and other sports.

Cooperation with the State of Qatar on safety, security and service preparations for the 2022 Football World Cup is expected to continue in the context of the new Committee monitoring the implementation of the Saint-Denis Convention.
