The health protocols of the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have caused misinformation and problems for some fans. do Palmeiras who traveled to the United Arab Emirates for the Club World Cup.

Even neighboring cities do not adopt the same criteria. Those arriving in the country via Abu Dhabi, for example, undergo a test for Covid-19 while still at the airport, while in Dubai there are reports of such a service not having been offered in recent days.

Marcio Boscaro Filho, a lawyer who traveled from São Paulo, suffered from unforeseen circumstances before arriving at the venue for Verdão’s debut in the FIFA tournament. The trip scheduled in advance suffered from increases in taxi trips, demand for new PCR exams and information mismatch.
–
– I didn’t take the test on entry (in Dubai) and I didn’t get my ID number, so I didn’t validate the government app. We found out from some friends from Palmeiras that our test in Brazil, despite having been done 48 hours ago, did not work here.

In Abu Dhabi, there is a need to use the Alhosn app, which gathers information about vaccines and the deadline for mandatory PCR tests that must be performed during the stay in the city. It is through this passport that people are allowed to enter shopping malls, stadiums and other establishments. Even on the road he is requested.
–
Buses do not accept people without app validation, in the same way that taxi or transport app drivers are prevented from entering Abu Dhabi without a valid PCR exam.

– I thought it was the way palm trees in Libertadores (the hardest until the World Cup), but after I came here I discovered that things are not easy (laughs) – said Marcio.
–
– The Palmeiras player is excited for the World Cup. I think a lot of people will come. At the airport, on the flight, talking to people, we have this expectation. The team is much more experienced than last year. I hope they learned. If I could choose, I would choose Ron (as a hero candidate). But I think that the one who will play a lot of ball is Dudu.

There are also reports of errors in filling in the data in the collection of PCR exams. Incorrect information, such as phone number, nationality or date of birth, can delay application validation.
–
– People have to prepare themselves, read a lot. Airlines have one or another information that will take you to another information. You have to go after it, and you create an information network. And never leave it for later. Deadlines are tight, things have checking to be done. Try to approach people who speak the language or English. You’ll need it at the airport – declared Marcelo Groba, who accompanies the group from Palmeiras in Abu Dhabi.

Fernando Yamashita and Danilo Feijo have been in the United Arab Emirates since last week. The two live on the Gold Coast and await the arrival of more Palmeiras from Australia. The trip, however, was delayed for the same reasons as the local bureaucracy.

Carlos Lima came from London, England, and is also waiting for the arrival of more Verdão supporters from Europe. The expectation is that the palm treeas easily surpass the mark of 2,300 thousand tickets destined for the club.
–
– Half are still in Dubai awaiting this PCR, a part has arrived and another part arrives on Tuesday. But my last game was in 2019 and I can’t stop thinking about the game. I lived my childhood and adolescence in Parque Antarctica… It’s hard to explain – said Danilo.
–
– I think it will be Wesley (the hero of the palm trees). I really like his football, skillful. It will decide this game – said Carlos.
