Qatar is the smallest nation to host a World Cup. Here’s how it compares to other host countries.
The compact nature of the tournament is immediately apparent to visitors arriving in Doha, with one venue, Stadium 974, visible from the airport road, and several other stadiums surfacing on a drive along the capital’s highways. The experience of attending a match can feel urban and local, like a visit to Capital One Arena in downtown D.C. or to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Even Switzerland, the smallest country to host the tournament before Qatar, is more than three times the size of the present host.Despite the cramped quarters, more than 1 million people are expected to converge on the country of 2.9 million, increasing the population by more than one-third. So where do they all stay? Some are staying in hotels charging more than $1,000 a night. Others are staying in cruise ships docked near Doha. And for those who can’t afford either of these options, there are less-expensive apartments available, as well asVisitors are also staying in neighboring gulf countries and commuting in for the games. But once in Qatar, traveling between stadiums is easier than in past World Cup tournaments.
