Football fans around the world wait in great anticipation for the coming 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 22nd edition of the prestigious football championship, scheduled to take place in Qatar. But just how much are you willing to pay to enjoy the beautiful game in all its glory?
If money were no object, then fans might want to consider watching their favourite teams play from the comfort of a luxury suite, complete with beds, at Qatar’s Al Bayt Stadium. Guests will be able to eat, drink and sleep with the service of a five-star hotel from this luxury suite.
There definitely is no better way to enjoy the game than from the massive window in the room that offers a bird’s eye view of the unfolding action on the pitch.
As this is the first World Cup to take place in the Middle East, hosted country Qatar is pulling out all the stops to impress football fans by building six brand new stadiums.
Located in the Northern city of Al Khor, the massive stadium can accommodate 60,000 people. The design is distinctive as it is modelled after the tents Qatar natives used in the desert. The highlight of this unique design is a retractable roof that can be opened in 20 minutes. Much like a modern-day oasis, the surroundings of the stadium will be decorated with a park and an artificial lake.
The 2022 World Cup will be kicking off on 20th November 2022 with the final to be played on 18th December which happens to be Qatar’s national day. Though the finals are set to take place in the larger Lusail Stadium, the Al Bayt Stadium will host the semi-finals.
As football fans the world over are counting down to the start of FIFA World Cup, Avani Palm View Hotel and Avani Ibn Battuta Hotel in Dubai have unveiled an action-packed programme of viewing activities and stay packages dedicated to the beautiful game.
Seven Seeds at Avani Palm View Hotel is the most dedicated sports viewing venue this season for football enthusiasts. In another winning move, the hotel has partnered with Budweiser and African & Eastern to raffle off a trip to Qatar to watch the FIFA World Cup final among guests who purchase a bucket or four pints of Budweiser. A special “Football Kit” menu is available at Seven Seeds with dishes such as beer-battered Cajun chicken strips, German beef bratwurst, Guinness beef and mushroom pie, fish and chips, and Happy Hour starts daily from 4 pm to 8 pm.
