Check out the Team Base Camp of the reigning FIFA World Cup champions.

The hotel where France will stay at Qatar 2022

It may seem like a joke of fate, but it is not. France has chosen to stay in an establishment that exudes soccer from the name: the Al MESSIla: a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa. A hotel managed by the multinational chain Marriott International, where deluxe is a constant feature. This is one of the two parts that make up the team's Base Camp.

The Al Messila is less than 10 kilometers from downtown Doha, in the heart of the host country of the upcoming World Cup. And, in keeping with Qatar 2022's multi-featured compactness, it is actually very close to the places where the France National Team would have to travel: its training ground and the 3 stadiums in which it is guaranteed to play in the tournament's group stage. 

-Al Messila Hotel to Al Sadd SC Stadium (Training Camp)-  8 kilometers 
-Al Messila Hotel to Al Janoub Stadium - 26 kilometers - France vs Australia
-Al Messila Hotel to Stadium 974 - 14 kilometers - France vs Denmark
-Al Messila Hotel to Education City Stadium - 10 kilometers - Tunisia vs France

While les Bleus will not be away from the crowds and their privacy may not be entirely guaranteed, with thousands of fans wanting to be close to stars like Mbappé, Griezmann or Benzema, they have ensured their comfort during the at least 15 days they will be in the land of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
