Accommodations for fans and supporters of the Qatar World Cup, which opens on November 20, are causing a stir as “rip-offs.

　There is a shortage of accommodations in Qatar, and even on the opening day of the tournament, construction of accommodations is still underway.

The Doha area, the center of the tournament, is not enough to accommodate the officials, fans, and supporters coming from all over the world, and the organizing committee has asked them to stay in neighboring countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.

The accommodations that the organizing committee has prepared for fans and supporters have become a source of controversy. The price is an astonishing ￡185 per night for a small space that is nothing more than a row of simple containers. The Daily Mail reported, “World Cup fans will be crammed into ￡ 185 container in a pile of garbage and rubble in Qatar. The Daily Mail reported that “Complaints have been made about the ‘rip-off’ accommodation.

The Fun Village is like a construction site. Piles of rubble, torn up lawns, and industrial machinery still remain. Inside the containers, small air-conditioning units are unable to cool the space during the day and rattle noisily at night. Fans from various countries have complained that they have been cheated, coupled with the high cost of accommodation.

The Qatar World Cup will open with poor conditions.
