FIFA World Cup 2022: Lionel Messi and his Argentine Teammates rejected 5-star hotel accommodations for student lodging in Qatar. Here's why the team made this decision ahead of the grand game starting on November 20.
Football frenzy is alive yet again! Fans from all across the world gear up for FIFA World Cup 2022, a game that inspires strong vigor and zeal amongst fans who hail from different parts of the world. The game will begin on November 20.
Ahead of the grand game, Lionel Messi and his teammates have decided to reject the five-star hotel accommodation for student lodging so that they can host barbecues.
After landing in Doha, the team instead moved to Qatar University and booked their lodgings there in student halls. The decision was also made by the AFA officials so that the players can have ‘asados’, which is one of the country's traditional barbeque dishes. An official from the Argentine FA told ‘The Mail’, “We visited the campus several times and chose it because not only does it have great facilities but it also has open-air space for ‘asados’. This is very important to the players and Argentines in general, it’s part of our culture.”
The official further added, “We want to make them feel at home while they are in Qatar and the best way to do this is to make sure that they get a taste of home while focusing on the football.”
