Three British naval ships have arrived at the Umm Al-Hol naval base in Qatar.
This comes within the framework of cooperation agreements Qatar has signed with allies to secure the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosted by the Gulf nation.
According to Reuters news agency, British female mine hunters will patrol the waters near the Gulf.
The British fleet will join other ships from thirteen nations taking part in defending the World Cup, which is being organized for the first time in the Arab country and the Middle East.
Among the most important countries participating in securing the tournament are the United States, United Kingdom, Turkey, France, Germany, Pakistan and others.
The matches will begin on November 20, with the opening match between hosts Qatar and Ecuador at the Al Bad Stadium.
Britain announced last May that it would provide elements of the British Royal Air Force and Navy to Qatar to help defend the World Cup.
A British Ministry of Defense source confirmed that his country will support Qatar with military capabilities to combat terrorism and other threats to the championship through maritime security, operational planning and command and control support.
