Holiday activities at Jan Meda included penalty shoot outs for cash pay alongside other carnival games. The World Cup final in Qatar ended in penalty shoot outs this year, a global audience of 1.5 billion watched the spectacle. While the tournament's ending had stirred planetary awe, the death of 37 workers during the construction of the stadiums had given the games a sour taste early on. The tournament broke records of the biggest budget of more than 200 billion dollars and the most spectators of 2.5 million people.
