How Qatar wants to solve the problem of staying in the World Cup
With the World Cup in Qatar fast approaching, the organizers have a serious accommodation problem. How will they try to solve the problem.
The time for the start of the World Cup in Qatar is pressing. The cross takes place on November 21st while the tournament ends on December 18th.
The work in Qatar continues, as do reports of human rights abuses and labor rights violations. The host country has also been criticized for being able to host members of the country’s LGBTQ+ community.
One of the issues also raised is that of accommodation. The YouTube channel Tifo Football presents the existing problems. So far most hotels have been closed by FIFA, sponsors and the media.
Qatar is expecting around 850,000 spectators over the four weeks. In detail, the organizers expect 559,000 people in the first week. In fact, it is estimated that around 276,000 ticket holders will be looking for accommodation from November 27th to 28th. Based on the above, tourism authorities estimate that 130,000 hotel rooms will be needed.
So far there are about 34,000 rooms in Qatar and that number will increase by 25,000 by November when the World Cup begins.
How is the problem solved
However, there is still a severe shortage of accommodation and some of it will not be affordable for all guests. The organizers are looking for solutions to avoid big problems.
One solution tried at this year’s Arab Cup is to host locals. However, the country’s conservative culture does not allow such a thing to be implemented on a large scale. Two major cruise lines in Qatar also offer around 4,000 rooms at a cost of 3,000,000 for six nights.
Another accommodation option is desert camping outside of Doha. The organizers took over the know-how from festivals like those of Coachella and Glastonbury. But even this case is not a stable solution, but an experience of the country’s culture.
Also, the city of Madinatna, just outside of Doha, was founded. Hotels were built there and apartment buildings were built. In total, the number of rooms increases to 80,000 thanks to the contribution of the City Satellite. In addition, authorities are urging residents to rent rooms on Airbnb, with prices high.
Despite the problems, the organizers hope that the problems will be fixed by the start and that there will be problems during the tournament.

Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
