Chinese sports media Dongqiudi reported on the 10th, citing Swedish media reports, that various problems have arisen at the hotel where the Swedish national football team, participating in the FIFA World Cup North America tournament, is staying.
According to a report by Swedish media Aftonbladet on the 8th, multiple malfunctions were found at the facilities of 'The Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa' in Frisco, Texas, USA, where the national team will stay during the World Cup.
When a reporter from the same media outlet actually stayed there, water leaks occurred from the ceiling in the hotel's gym, with water droplets constantly falling from the pipes. Hotel staff reportedly responded by placing buckets below to catch the water and installing warning signs that read 'Caution: Floor may be slippery.'
Furthermore, when the reporter used the toilet in the guest room, it reportedly clogged and water nearly overflowed, prompting a repair technician to come to the room to address it. Additionally, water was leaking from an iron among the amenities in the room, and the tap water reportedly had a strong disinfectant odor.
The same media outlet states that although facilities like the pool, spa, and gym are well-equipped, these problems have raised concerns about the hotel's capacity to host World Cup participating teams.
Sweden, which is in Group F for the FIFA World Cup North America tournament, will play against Tunisia on the 15th, the Netherlands on the 21st, and Japan on the 26th. (Translation/Editing by Kitada)
