Nestled in Qatar's Lusail Stadium, a VIP hospitality suite that will host affluent spectators for the 2022 World Cup has been sold for USD 2.4 million.
The deluxe suite is managed by Match Hospitality, which is renowned for running exclusive luxury hospitality at Formula One events. According to a report by the UK Metro, the gold-tinted Suite 3079 will cater to 44 people and is located in the 80,000-capacity Lusail Stadium, which will host the FIFA 2022 World Cup finals on December 18. The iconic design of the stadium is deeply rooted in Qatari culture and is influenced by fanar lanterns and delicately crafted bowls that have been used for centuries throughout the Middle East.
A total of 32 teams will compete in eight groups for the ultimate prize in soccer at the FIFA World Cup, which kicks off on November 20 and goes on until December 18. The highly anticipated event sees its first match at the Al Bayt Stadium when hosts Qatar take on Ecuador in Group A. The highly anticipated Group B starts on Monday, November 21, when England goes head to head with Iran. Perhaps the most anticipated match from that group is the UK tussle between England and Wales on Tuesday, November 29, after the latter qualified dramatically via the playoffs. A line-up of stellar players and consistent performances over several matches has made England a favorite to win, with the most popular World Cup soccer betting sites in the US backing the 2018 World Cup semi-finalists. The finals will be played on Sunday, December 18, a week before Christmas, at the Lusail Stadium in Doha. Three months before the World Cup kicks off in Qatar, FIFA sources have reported that 2.45 million World Cup tickets have been sold, with just over 500,000 seats still available. Out of them all, there seems to be a steady rise in demand for tickets for Brazil's games against both Serbia and Cameroon.
In order to book accommodation in Qatar via an official tournament website, fans require a confirmed ticket purchase. Luxury suites offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience are available via Match Hospitality, with soccer legends like David Beckham appearing in promotional videos for the cutting-edge Suite 3079. Match Hospitality has described the luxe suite in its promotional material as the most luxurious commercial lounge at the FIFA World Cup.
According to a spokeswoman for the agent, the Lusail suite was offered on a venue series basis, which indicates the price includes all matches taking place in a certain stadium. Many have compared it to how an airplane has economy, business, and first classes; they offer a variety of hospitality products tailored for a broad range of consumers, from the ultra-luxurious to the casual and relaxed. These types of hospitality packages allow people to guarantee their entry to the game while also receiving additional benefits, such as hiring a family-friendly lounge or hosting VVIP visitors in an exclusive suite.
The cost of a suite is determined by its location and size. According to a spokesperson from Match, the exclusive experience comes with a 'curated five-course sampling menu,' and guests can directly access outside seats from the glass-fronted boxes.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 comprises 64 games that will be played in eight magnificent space-age stadiums, combining Qatar's rich heritage with ultra-modern innovation and sustainability at its core.
