【Now Sports】The World Cup in Qatar kicked off on Sunday. A large number of fans have already gone to the place. However, they all complained about the poor environment of the container fan village, which is like a square cabin. Some people were even threatened by local officials because of this. Due to the limited hotel rooms in Qatar, it is difficult to welcome more than 1.2 million fans during the World Cup, so the government built 3 container fan villages, with room rates starting from US$200 per night.
After checking in, many fans criticized the “cheap” accommodation similar to square cabins. Mahmooditar from Iran said: “I am 6 feet tall and the bed is too small. There is no place to move there, and the noise from the air conditioner is too loud. You can’t sleep. The bathroom isn’t very big either. It’s ridiculous that I’d pay so much to live in this can.”
“I paid about $200 a night and I knew for $100 I could get a room and meal in a 5 star hotel. That’s not how tourists are treated. We pay so much to come here. I’m a businessman, But not rich.” In addition to the poor condition of the rooms, the supporting facilities of the container fan village are not perfect. The fitness center and tennis courts mentioned at the beginning have disappeared, and some parts are still unfinished, and they are still like land.
Due to the many negative comments on the container fan village, the Qatari government has closely monitored relevant online comments. Danish journalist Rasmus Tantholdt was harassed by security guards and officials when he was filming the real situation in the container fan village, and was even threatened to blow up his camera. Afterwards, the Qatar International Media Office and the Qatar High Council have issued apologies.
