DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP)—Qatar officials insist the country’sblistering feverishness won’t be the cause if it wins the right to horde the 2022 WorldCup.

To have the case, the country’s organizers denounced the $4 billion planWednesday to set up 9 stadiums as well as renovate three others—all with ahigh-tech cooling complement they pronounced will keep temperatures upon the margin during 80degrees.

The solar-powered complement will pump cold air in to the stadium through grillsin the stands as well as be total with roofs written to protect fans as well as playersfrom the sun.

Even with temperatures outside reaching 122 degrees during the World Cup,officials pronounced all the stadiums will be comfortable.

“For summer temperatures, you can completely exterminate the predicament ofhosting the World Cup because of weather,” pronounced Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad binKhalifa Al Thani, the son of the emir as well as who heads the bid committee. “What wehave created now is for vast open space to be cooled as well as for the vast series ofpeople to suffer their time as they would any other month.”

There are 9 bidders for the 2022 tournament. Seven of those—includingEngland as well as the United States—are bidding for either the 2018 or 2022 event,while Qatar as well as South Korea are only opposed for the latter.

Qatar’s bid got the progress Saturday when FIFA boss Sepp Blatter pronounced theArab universe deserves to stage the World Cup.

Blatter, in Doha to meet with Qatar’s soccer officials, praised the bid’sinfrastructure upon Saturday as well as pronounced the government’s successful hosting of the2006 Asian Games showed it was capable of organizing big international events.

The tiny though rich Gul! f nation has used sport to try to progress itsinternational profile, staging the Asian Games as well as becoming the stop for severalmajor tennis tournaments. Qatar will horde the 2011 Asian Cup soccer tournament.

But it has struggled to draw the top events. Its 2016 Olympic bid fell flatand the feverishness might infer to be the hurdle to the World Cup aspirations, as thetournament is played during the warmest season.
