Trump visit leads to security delays at World Cup final
Al Jazeera journalists covering the event at the stadium reported that they were held up by extensive queues as they attempted to gain entry, a delay attributed to the implementation of tighter security checks. The reporters, positioned on the ground to provide live coverage, described the screening process as more rigorous than in previous events, resulting in longer wait times before they could access the venue.
The heightened security measures, officials said, were introduced to ensure the safety of attendees and participants amid growing concerns over public safety at large gatherings. While the checks caused temporary inconvenience for the media crew, they were completed without incident, allowing Al Jazeera to resume its reporting once clearance was granted.
