First look at £200-a-night Qatar World Cup fan villages in desert where thousands are set to stay

A first look at the accommodation in Qatar's World Cup fan village has left many supporters in disgust.

The showpiece, which is being played in the winter for the first time ever, kicks off in 10 days time and images of where thousands of fans will be staying have been circulating online.

With more than a million people coming from all across the globe for the festival of football, Qatar has had to use cruise ships as floating hotels to accomodate the sheer amount of guests.

And another idea they launched is a series of fan villages, though they look like shipping containers and make the Fyre Festival accomodation look five-stars.

At the Al-Emadi fan village, twin single and double beds are available and there is a mini-fridge and bathroom/shower in each cabin, as well as air conditioning.

You get two bottles of water to help you get through the sweltering desert conditions and on site there is a large screen to watch games, as well as a tennis court and fitness centre.

However, the rooms look like something you'd get in student halls at university. You might think that it's only someone to lay your head but stays will set you back 740 Qatari Rial, which is nearly £200, per night.

Understandably, the state of the accommodation has been with met with a wave of furious reaction on social media.

According to iNews, sports bars in Doha, Qatar's capital, are charging extortionate prices for alcohol.

For the group stages, The Marriott Hotel’s Champions Sports Bar, named by Time Out magazine as the best sports bar in the city, is charging fans 200 Qatari riyals - or £48 - for entry to watch the action.

The fee includes three drinks, with Budweiser, Corona or a glass of house wine on the menu, but then the prices go up as the competition advances.

For the semi-finals and final, entry fee is set at a ridiculous 1000 riyals, which equates to £240 and essentially means customers are forking out £80 for a single beverage.

It should all be noted that if you stay for more than one game, you then have to be pay another entry fee.

Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has admitted that awarding the World Cup to Qatar was a "mistake" and at this point it's hard to disagree.
