Qatar hires Glastonbury Festival’s fire-breathing Arcadia spider for Qatar Football World Cup

Posted by World Wide Tickets And Hospitality on September 21st, 2022

Corresponding to the Daily Mail, organizers of this year’s Football World Cup in Qatar have leased the 50-tonne, fire-breathing metal structure that Glastonbury itself appoints each year from the Bristol-established Arcadia company for the tournament World Cup. No further features, though, on when it will be in place nor who is playing live within the spider have been shared.

The publication has stated further that a well-placed source indicated that the Arcadia spider may be one of the few zones in which alcohol is allowed to be drunk at the stadiums and in the Fan Zone. However, there are unverified reports that there may be a license limit set to 10 am-5 pm. Doha’s problem is that there’s not much society or indeed much at all in this mostly barren moonscape, wrote Ian Herbert in his statement. So, they’re going to put it in the kitchen sink and borrow a lot from Glastonbury.

In other football-related news, allegations that the late singer Darius Campbell Danesh revealed a fraudulent Ranger’s financing document have been called a diversion by the Scottish football club. Rangers FC is suing US businessman Kyle Fox over allegations that her company, KRF Capital, is using a shareholder deck document including the club’s logos to falsely attempt to raise $ 50 million from investors stating it will buy shares in the club.

The Times reports that Rangers have stated that Fox’s allegations about Campbell Danesh, 41, who was found dead at his home in Rochester, Minnesota last month, are to distract from her scam. It’s alleged that Fox set out a tortuous route in which the document was passed on by Campbell Danesh, his participation in which Rangers has rejected.

Qatar Football World Cup is yet to start, but Dubai is already a winner

Multiple flight choices, charming hotel offers, and multi-entry visas give Dubai the edge. The UAE stands to be a winner at the Qatar Football World Cup if an overspill of admirers floods its hotels, restaurants, and planes. With little financing, the UAE, and in particular Dubai, stands to gain if, as anticipated, fans opt to stay in the tourism hotspot as a substitute for tiny Gulf neighbors Qatar during the November-December tournament FIFA World Cup.

High accommodation rates in the Qatari capital Doha could entice supporters, specialists say. Budget airline flydubai will run at least 30 arrival flights a day to Doha, just an hour left, part of a daily airlift of 160 shuttle service jobs from cities in the resource-rich Gulf. Dubai Sports Council has projected about a million Football World Cup supporters could arrive in the city. Qatar is anticipating a similar number.

For the hurry, Dubai is gearing up with fan zones declared at parks, beaches, and in the financial center, while hotels are presenting special packages. Such deals involve shuttle flights and transport to the airport and follower zones. The UAE is also contributing multiple-entry visas at a nominal fee to people with tickets for Football World Cup matches.

Football World Cup commuters

Visiting followers won’t be Dubai’s only Football World Cup commuters. Firas Yassin, a French Lebanese Dubai neighborhood, booked a day trip to see France’s opening match after being shocked by the price of Doha hotel rooms. Yassin will fly in with his wife five hours before the clash with Denmark on November 26 and leave a rare hours after the final whistle having done a life-long dream to see Les Bleus play live.

“I’m going to visit the city, watch the game and then go back to my place in Dubai,” the 34-year-old told AFP.

Expat Sport, which is certified by FIFA to sell game hospitality packages for the matches in Doha, noted that ease was a key factor in people choosing to stay in Dubai. It quoted the regular shuttle flights operation between the two cities and it only being an hour flight. One Dubai hotel, on the man-made, frond-shaped Palm Island, will be given over completely to football followers.

Soaring tourist numbers due to Football World Cup

More than a million tourists visited Dubai in July, data showed, as the emirate stayed on track to overtake pre-pandemic tourism levels. Dubai had 8.1 million tourists in the first seven months of 2022, a 184% jump linked to the same period a year ago. The emirate welcomed 7.12 million international overnight tourists in the first six months of 2022.

Visitor numbers during January-July 2021 stood at 2.85 million, and 9.58 million in the first seven months of 2019. Hotel tenancy during the seven months stood at 72% of 141,000 rooms offered, data revealed, closely on the heels of 74% in 2019, even as the emirate witnessed a 19% jump in the number of accessible rooms in 2022 year-to-date assessed to 2019 levels. Shuttle flights will also run from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman to alleviate pressure on accommodation in Doha, a city of 2.4 million.

Then “relative to other Gulf states, Dubai does hold a benefit with its position as a major tourist end already”, Swanston told.
