2022 World Cup in Qatar could see fans housed in desert tent-camps

Post by dbackjon »

The selection of Qatar as the host nation for the 2022 World Cup has come with plenty of criticism, and with six years to go until the tournament, don’t expect that criticism to slow down.
Besides the fact that the voting process was corrupted and the multiple human rights issues surrounding the ongoing construction, there is now a chance that there will not be enough hotels and apartments to house all the supporters expected to attend the World Cup.

Qatar’s solution: Have fans stay in makeshift tents in desert areas surrounding the stadiums.

Don't most people in that part of the world live in desert tents anyway until they graduate to a mud hut? May as well let the world experience local flavor. Kind of like floating human waste in Rio this summer. Mmm mmm good!

High ground is especially valuable there. You don't want your neighbor's piss flowing down into your tent. :nod:

Just think of it as Qatar's version of burning man...except the burning man is a gay dude they found...or an immigrant laborer caught taking a 5 minute break. :coffee:
