The Lusail Stadium in Qatar failed its first test before the 2022 World Cup in epic fashion.
, there was a serious lack of shuttle buses available for fans who used parking lots in the vicinity of the stadium. One family told the outlet that they were forced to walk 45 minutes in temperatures of 95 degrees Fahrenheit that felt even hotter due to the humidity.that stadium vendors ran out of water by halftime and there was none outside — a scenario that would never be acceptable but one that was even more of a problem due to the heat and humidity.
One father told Doha News that he couldn’t find water for his five-year-old daughter, and a gracious stadium volunteer had given him his own personal supply. “I will forever be grateful for that young man because I can’t imagine what I would’ve done if he didn’t help. But not everyone is as lucky as I am. What will we do during the World Cup? I don’t want to even go anymore,” he said.
Another fan told Doha News that they spent 20 minutes looking for women’s bathrooms, with “clueless” volunteers at the stadium unable to help. A spokesperson for the World Cup organizing committee told Reuters that the game was meant as a test to identify areas for improvement before the World Cup.
