Desert tents for WCup fans

THE committee organizing the 2022 World Cup in Qatar plans to try out a “fan village” that could house up to 2,000 spectators in Arabian desert tents. The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy said yesterday it is seeking bids to develop a pilot project near the Sealine Beach resort south of the capital, Doha.

It will offer different types of accommodation in 350 temporary tents and 300 permanent tents, along with big viewing screens and other entertainment options. A total of five fan villages could be built. Qatar is racing to build hotels and other infrastructure needed to host the games. Visitor accommodation in Qatar is currently dominated by higher-end hotels in Doha.
