Football fans coming to Qatar for the World Cup will not have to shell out huge amounts on accommodation, assured CEO of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Nasser Al Khater.  

In comments to The Sun, Al Khater said that Qatar will make this World Cup as affordable as possible for everyone.

“We have always been committed to offering every fan who wants to come the opportunity to enjoy an affordable World Cup. We’ve learned from previous tournaments. We know there have been price hikes in previous tournaments to take advantage of the fans who have bought tickets,” he told Sunsport.

"That’s something we have always been determined to avoid. I completely understand the concern when fans see these prices, but we will make this World Cup as affordable as possible for everyone,” he added.

Fans with tickets can already book their accommodation through the special website launched by the organiser. The website lists many options from different categories of hotels, apartments and villas, vacation homes and two cruise ships with around 4,000 rooms. 

Fans can also book accommodation through other means, such as hotel and holiday accommodation websites. But this website gives much more options and price ranges.

The organisers had earlier clarified that accommodation for FIFA Qatar 2022 fans will start from $80 and go up depending on the category one chooses.
