Scope
Custom software development: media accreditation and content platform for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 was the first World Cup in the Arab world. Managing media access for an event of this scale required a secure, multi-tiered digital platform. The system needed to handle concurrent applications, complex access hierarchies, and real-time coordination with six government agencies, and required approval from Qatar's National Cyber Security Agency.
Highly secure, role-based software architecture designed to protect sensitive accreditation data.
16 user access levels for different media personnel categories, from broadcasters to press and support staff.
Direct integration with 6 government agencies for approvals and clearances.
Testing by the National Cyber Security Agency prior to launch.
Full Arabic and English language support throughout the platform.
A live, secure media accreditation and content platform for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
The Qatar Media Portal handled the accreditation of over 35,000 media representatives without significant incident. After the tournament, the platform was repurposed on the Hayya platform for tourism purposes, extending its value well beyond the original brief.
