"At the heart of this World Cup is a commitment to showcase the hospitality and friendship of the Middle East. As a result, we are actively researching the concept of supporters sleeping under the stars," a spokesperson for Qatar's World Cup Supreme Committee told Reuters without giving further details"

This guy should sell properties. "Experience a true Qatari ethnic experience, sleeping under the stars!"

Translation: The already insane hotel building we've started, which will need to be double again before the cup, and will be sure to feature in click-bait "You'll never guess what the abandoned Qatari World Cup sites look like now" articles on Gawker 10 years after the games will still not be enough, so we're going to erect non-air-conditioned tents in a field to house the rest.

On the plus side, fewer slaves will (probably) die erecting the tents.
