ASIAN Cup organizers are considering giving a refund to the 700 or so supporters who were locked out of the final despite holding valid tickets because of a heavy security presence.
Fans were still complaining at halftime that they could not enter the Khalifa Stadium where the gates were locked 55 minutes before kickoff as part of security measures for a number of VIPs, including the Qatari heir to the throne.
The Qatari Local Organizing Committee said yesterday that around 3,000 supporters had been outside the ground before kickoff but only around 700 of them held valid tickets for the final.
When asked if refunds would be given, QLOC director Jassim Al Romaihi said: "We will consider that.
"I think they can go to our website and they can protest regarding this, we will discuss this issue also with AFC."
