Doha: Qatar hopes to accommodate some of the 1.2 million fans who will be competing in the FIFA World Cup later this year in a 1,000 “traditional tent,” the organizers said Tuesday. “This is one of the options that will be available in the next two weeks,” said Omar Al-Jaber, head of accommodation for the tournament’s Supreme Commission. “It’s a real camp,” he said at a press conference. “We need to provide people with a normal Bedouin-style desert and tent experience.” Tent is supplied with water, electricity and drainage systems, but in countries known for the heat of summer there is no air conditioning. However, it is mild in winter.
The World Cup, which runs from November 21st to December 18th, is first held in the northern winters to prevent summer temperatures from exceeding 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). Another luxury camp with 200 tents is planned for football fans visiting gas-rich Gulf countries. It will be set up along a beach called Sealine, south of the country on the edge of the desert, and other areas will be announced, Jaber said.
He adds that “more than 100,000 rooms” will be available at the time of the tournament and is trying to ease concerns about the capacity of the small emirates. Fans can choose to live in a specially designated village or in an apartment, villa, cabin or two cruise ships. Most of the country’s hotel rooms have already been pre-booked by teams, referees and media organizers, but FIFA will release unused rooms, Jaber said.
He vowed that there are more hotels under construction and more rooms will be available in the coming months. A peak booking is expected from November 25th to 27th, which coincides with the midpoint of the group stage, but “it doesn’t mean there are no rooms on that day,” he said. More than 160 round-trip flights are scheduled daily from neighboring Gulf countries to accommodate supporters.
Official poster
In another development, an official poster will be on display at Hamad International Airport and will remain at Gate D18 through the FIFA World Cup 2022. Everyone can see the poster as they enter and leave Qatar. This series of eight posters was created in close collaboration with Qatar’s renowned artist Bouthayna Al Muftah. Combine artwork to convey the values ​​and message of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in a delicate, unique and appropriate way, closely tied to local culture and heritage.
The main poster focuses on football itself and features the traditional headpiece worn in Qatar, Agar, and typography that expresses the voice of a cheering crowd. Like a beautiful game, the artist’s approach is raw and emotional, packed with obvious movement and energy. This approach aims to create a dialogue with the fans – ignite all senses. -agency
