World Cup organisers have been slammed after images of the bleak accommodation on offer in Qatar have gone viral on social media.
The World Cup is now just a matter of weeks away, with hosts Qatar taking on Ecuador in the opening game of the tournament on November 20.
Concerns have been raised over Qatar's suitability to stage the event ever since it was named as host nation back in 2010.

In addition to concerns over the country's poor human rights record and its treatment of migrant workers, critics claim the small Gulf nation lacks the infrastructure to host a tournament of this size.
According to the BBC, more than one million fans are expected to travel to Qatar for the World Cup.
But in March, the country only had 30,000 hotel rooms, 80 per cent of which had already been booked by FIFA for football teams, officials and sponsors.
Fans are now having to pay huge sums of money to find accommodation during the tournament.

In an effort to house those supporters, large "fan villages" have been set up by World Cup organisers.
These villages offer supporters "cabin-style and casual camping and caravan accommodation", according to the Qatar Accommodation Agency portal.
However, an image of one such village has now gone viral on social media, with fans comparing the standard of accommodation to the infamous Fyre Festival.
"Looks like some Fyre Festival s***," joked one Twitter user.

Another added: "Thousands of fans from rival countries grouped close together in cramped environment. What could possibly go wrong?"
"I have always dreamed of going on holiday in a shopping container tbf," joked another.
While a fourth wrote: "That looks absolutely ridiculous. Is there air conditioning in each container as well? Who knew a World Cup in Qatar would be such a mess."

To make matters worse for fans, staying in the village for just one night could cost supporters as much as $207 (£181), according to the i's deputy sports editor, Matt Butler, who posted the viral image to Twitter.
"Just had an email saying more rooms have been released for the World Cup in Qatar. For only $207 a night you can stay here!," tweeted Butler.
"Looks slightly better in the computer-generated image on the official website. Looks like they haven't yet put down the turf. Or planted the hedges.
"Or somehow made space between the endless rows of soulless cabins for the little gazebo things."

The price of staying in Qatar and its strict rules around alcohol has seemingly put off England supporters from travelling to the country this winter.
In June, the Football Association had yet to sell out its full allocation of tickets for the Three Lions' group matches to the England Supporters' Club – the core group of fans that typically watch games home and away.
England face Iran in their opening match on November 21 before taking on the United States (November 25) and Wales (November 29) in their remaining group matches.
Wales, competing in their first World Cup since 1958, take on the United States (November 21) and Iran (November 25) before their crunch match with rivals England.
