England families told they could have to pay up to £250 EACH for a meal at the World Cup

The families of England players have been warned they can expect to pay £250 a head for meals in Qatar during the World Cup.

Relatives of the squad attended a briefing at Wembley before Monday’s match against Germany, when they were consulted on a number of logistical and security details ahead of the tournament.

And they were told they face exorbitant prices in Qatar.

One of the most eye-popping examples was the prospect of paying £250 each for a three-course meal with drinks.

Families were also advised that staying in a luxury hotel could cost £3,000 a night.

Some families have looked at renting private accommodation, with quotes as high as £350,000 for the tournament for a property with up to six bedrooms. 

Many have made reservations with Qatar hotels or on cruise liners, but others could base themselves in Dubai.

World Cup organisers are putting on £150 flights between Dubai and Qatar, allowing families to travel between the UAE states for matches.

Families were also briefed on the FA’s security plans amid concerns from some, who are undecided about whether they even want to travel to the World Cup.

Jordan Henderson and Eric Dier have both revealed that members of their families may not go to Qatar.
