Organisers of the football tournament are facing criticism over a lack of affordable accommodation.

England football fan, Paul Clegg, is hoping to watch his team play in Qatar but is concerned about accomodation

"I've just booked a room for the first four nights and I am paying a lot for it. I haven't found any reasonably priced options, so I am not sure where will I be staying after that," he says.The BBC spoke to more than two dozen fans who still have not managed to book any accommodation. With less than two months to go, their concerns are growing.

In a statement to the BBC, the country's Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy said the Gulf state would deliver up to 130,000 rooms in time for the tournament. The BBC requested access to visit the fan villages, but permission was declined by the authorities. The sites are reportedly still under construction.
