The smallest World Cup in history is months away and as it stands, all the rooms have been booked.
This means that all the tickets on sale have been bought as the Local organising committee of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar have made it mandatory that every non-indigene coming into the country at the time must purchase World Cup match tickets as there are not enough accommodations to cater to the over 1.5 million visitors expected for the global showpiece.
There are, however, alternative accommodation available like cruise ships, beach camps and desert camps. Travelling fans also have the option of flying in from neighbouring Arab nations Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates whenever the matches they have tickets for are to be played.
Latest reports now state that an additional option for accommodation is being built and will be ready in time for the World Cup.
Qatari Diar, a leading real estate company in the country, are in the process of building the Al Salad projects, which consists of four 50-floor towers and two 70-floor towers. The projects will also have 14 other buildings for commercial use, all of which have been earmarked for launch just before the World Cup rolls around to Qatar come November.
Fans are reminded to participate in the ticket draws to be able to secure accommodation for the duration of the World Cup. The Hayya card is also necessary, or there will be no entry into the country at the time.
