The Fyre Festival World Cup is off to a rocky start.
The Supreme Committee in Qatar, which is responsible for organizing the 2022 World Cup, offered fans who were promised accommodation in official villages, but did not receive them, a full refund, blaming the “negligence of the operator.”
“We are aware that a number of fans have experienced delays in checking-in to select Fan Village accommodations due to the negligence of the owner and operator,” A spokesperson for the SC told ESPN. A section of the units in these facilities, which are being delivered and managed by various private parties, have not met the required standards that have been announced to the masses.
While these sites are managed by independent commercial entities, rectifying these issues remains a top priority for the SC. Fans severely impacted by this issue are being offered full refunds as well as alternative accommodations that will be free for the duration of their stay.”

Villages provide the masses with a chance to survive In a converted shipping container about $200 a night. However, some villages are not finished yet, and a village in Rawdat Al Jahaniya still needs to build common toilets and washing areas.
There is no word on whether fans in the completed villages enjoyed their stay in a shipping container.
Consider it another moment that puts Qatar in contention to host the worst World Cup ever. At least there are still three weeks left.
