The space is decorated in the Khalifa International Stadium and contains, for example, soundproofing, soft furniture, mood lighting, relaxed music and brightly colored toys and equipment. These features are designed to manage the fear of people so that they can follow the game in a quiet environment.

" An environment was needed that could contribute to the experience of football by people with a disability. constraint, " said Mariam Al Rashdi, founder of the OCSE. " This room was never a requirement of FIFA, but Qatar felt it was necessary for people with cognitive behavioral disorders to be able to follow the games of the 2022 World Cup. "

With this, the organization in Qatar has again achieved a goal in offering exclusive facilities. " Our ambition is to ensure that football can be followed by everyone, regardless of their options. Football is more popular than ever in the host country and all fans must be able to watch their favorite team play. In addition, the opportunity to taste the atmosphere and contribute to it should be the same for everyone. "
