Between 40 thousand and 80 thousand compatriots will go to Qatar to support the Mexican National Team.
Mexico has 91,173 confirmed tickets on sale for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
In the last World Cup, in Russia 2018, there were 44,000 Mexicans.
The World Cup in Qatar continues to leave criticism in the digital world and it is that Internet users once again attack the organizing country, after what the villas intended for lodging of fans look like, which I classify as “precarious”.
During the preparation of the biggest sporting event in the world, the nation has been criticized for its controversial human rights record, although they have invested a large amount of money in the structures where the event will take place, which is why it is already considered one of the most expensive.
According to data from the organizing country, it already accumulates 220 billion dollars in costs, making it the most expensive of all time. And it is that if the expenses of the Arab nation are compared with those made by Germany in the 2006 World Cup the difference is abysmal, since the European country only spent four thousand 300 million, highlights FIFA.
Through a video that has been broadcast on the Internet, accommodations classified as “mediocre” are shown in the villa for fans. Let’s remember that Qatar expects to receive more than 130,000 people during the first World Cup held in the Middle East.
From the beginning, the theme of this lodging generated some astonishment among people, due to its high cost, which is 306 dollars per night (around six thousand Mexican pesos), but over time many They accepted it thinking that it would be rooms, but now a video has been released where you can see the villas inside, exposing the containers with a sheet at the entrance.

Also, upon entering there is nothing more than two single beds separated by a small table and the room only has a light in the middle of the ceiling.
To date this video that is circulating, it has not been confirmed that the tents are the final product.
For its part, second information from the AP news agency, these villas cover more than 3.1 square kilometers and must have a temporary store and a restaurant. “However, although the village is connected to a metro station and a specially built bus stop, fans will have to make long journeys of at least 40 minutes to reach various stadiums.”indicates.

Given this, many Internet users have generated comments on social networks, such as for example on Twitter where many criticize what was seen in the viral video.
“The World Cup in Qatar is a disaster because of hosting like this and paying people to pretend they are fans,” reads one comment.

“One more reason why Qatar did not have to ‘win’ (or buy) the rights to the Soccer World Cup: Critical infrastructure for fans has been hastily cobbled together and looks like something out of an amateur horror movie,” he says. another netizen.

This controversy is not the only one that surrounds this sporting event that begins on Sunday, November 20, because just this week, it also went viral as fake fans encouraged different nations, generating much criticism about the possibility that the host nation was paying for them to wear a shirt and support a country.
Or the case of the aggression and prohibition of Qatari officials with a Danish reporter during a live broadcast in the country.
In conclusion, the whole world begins to set its eyes on an event that is considered important for many industries, especially for advertising, for all the brands that join in with campaigns and strategies.
