"You might wanna check this, this is how the Daily Start explains the decision to
ban Lebanese fans from attending the match:
"Due to Qatar’s pro-revolutionary stance, Lebanese security forces and the Qatari government feared action from Lebanese pro-regime supporters would endanger the safety of those attending the Lebanon-Qatar match." The ban has been since rescinded due to public pressures on the Lebanese government. The ban came after Qatar government threatened to expel all the 50,000 Lebanese in Qatar if the Lebanese soccer fans hurl insults at the Qatari royal family during the game. (thanks Moe)
