The Vice Chairman for Host Country Operation Affairs at the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), Fatima Fakhro, responsible for organizing and monitoring all of the projects with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has emphasized the country’s commitment in providing an extraordinary experience for fans from across the world planning to attend the tournament.
The quality of the host stadiums and the accommodation offer available during the event, are the two foundation stones of the World Cup, Fakhro said that Qatar is working on, to ensure that the tournament will appeal to visitors across the globe.
“We have made many options available to fans attending the World Cup, and along these lines we are consistently committed to our obligations. As such, we have been expanding the accommodation options for our guests so that they will fit every budget and appeal to the varied tastes of all visitors during the tournament.”
According to Fakhro, the national effort by Qatar ahead of hosting the World Cup is dependent on two main principles – putting on an unforgettable experience for fans and sustainability in terms of accommodation, which includes commitment to not build anything that will not be used once the tournament is complete.
Speaking to the media, Fakhro said “According to our estimates, we expect to receive 1.5 million fans during the World Cup. In line with this, we are placing a lot of emphasis on expanding the accommodation options available to visitors during the 2022 World Cup.”
