The Qatar FIFA World Cup will take place from November 20th to December 15th. FIFA is one of the biggest events in the world that attracts a good number of foreign fans to travel to the host country.Qatar has almost given everything for the success of the event. As per a report, Qatar has spent more than 2 billion USD on building the infrastructure of FIFA. But a few things can’t really be solved. For example, the size of the city where the event is going to take place. Doha is a tiny city, and all the 8 stadiums of FIFA are built in Doha only. While Qatar has a population of 3.8 million people, the matches will be seen by 2.5 million people in a month. Qatar knew from the beginning that it would have to make sure there were enough hotels for FANS. They tried, but didn’t really succeed in meeting the demand. The room status for the period of the group stage of the FIFA World Cup is “not available” or “too expensive”. Even though many plans have been made, like putting people up in fan villages and on cruise ships, it seems like they won’t be enough. This is the reason why spectators are now being forced to stay in Dubai and then fly to Qatar to watch matches. And now, as the FIFA World Cup in Qatar approaches, demand for the UAE visa has skyrocketed.
