Qatar has been accused of paying hundreds of locals to sing and dance pretending to be fans of England and other nations.
However, the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee has since rejected the accusations that there is ‘fake fans’ in Doha.
As the Englands coach pulled up to their hotel just south of Doha, they were greeted by hundreds of Indian expats singing “It’s coming home”.
