I posed as Three Lions fan to view filthy rip-off flats in Qatar – I was disgusted with what I found

A COCKROACH-ridden £650-a-night hovel is among filthy rip-off flats on offer to England fans at the Qatar World Cup.

We posed as Three Lions followers to view the tiny concrete box described by its owner, Hilal, as “adorable” on rental site Airbnb.

The flat, with its cracked walls, soiled mattress and at least five ’roaches in the kitchen, was next to a noisy building site in Doha.

Another Airbnb host, Riham, was offering digs in the capital with stained walls and lounge-kitchenette for £534 a night.

Mohammad showed us snaps of his “lovely” three-room property near Khalifa Stadium — a World Cup ground — at £1,789-a-night.

They were among dozens of grubby homes advertised by landlords hoping to cash in as fans fear a looming Cup accommodation crisis.

A million are expected to descend on the Yorkshire-sized oil-rich state.

Qatar 2022 chiefs insist there will be plenty of Fan Village Cabins to be had and urge fans to avoid the private rental market.

Omar Al-Jaber, Supreme Committee accommodation boss, said: “We’ll cope. There’s no crisis.”
