Might as well put it here:

The cost of hosting the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is expected to reach £138 billion - with £28 billion alone spent on creating a new city which will host the opening match and the final.

Dr Nicola Ritter, a German legal and financial analyst, told an investors' summit held in Munich that of the £138 billion cost, stadiums and facilities would carry a bill of £107 billion while transport infrastructure would amount to £31 billion.

The cost of air-conditioning 12 stadia will be around £30 billion, with a further £48 billion allocated for training facilities and accommodation for players and fans.

Where to play the Final? We'll just build a whole new City. Why not?

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
