Three-quarters of the teams at the World Cup in Qatar this year will be based within a 10km (six miles) radius of each other, football’s world governing body has said while announcing the hotels and training venues for the 32 sides.

Unlike in previous tournaments, every team will stay in the same hotel and use the same training base throughout the tournament.

''Players will have more time to train and rest during the competition while being able to experience the excitement that will take over the country at much closer quarters, as fellow players and passionate fans from all 32 nations will be gathering in a single area,'' said Colin Smith, FIFA’s Chief Operating Officer – World Cup.

FIFA said the accommodation ranges ''from four and five-star hotels to villas, resorts and non-hotel accommodation, including sports academy residences and school/university housing''.

Al Jazeera’s Joanna Gajarowska went to see where the stars will sleep.
