Qatar won the bid for hosting a mega event of the 2022 FIFA World Cup for a month from November 20 to December 18. During the FIFA World Cup 2022, 32 teams will play 64 matches across five Qatari cities in eight stadiums. Doha, Qatar’s capital, is within a 55-kilometer radius of all the venues. Let’s take a look at eight World Cup 2022 stadiums!

For the World Cup, Qatar renovated some stadiums and constructed new ones. Qatar collaborated with numerous well-known architectural construction firms for its new stadiums, including Foster + Partners, AECOM, and Zaha Hadid Architects. Additionally, Doha was the location of the construction of the first FIFA World Cup temporary venue.

It has been very controversial to build the stadiums in Qatar, which was selected to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022. Amnesty International was also critical of the stadium projects’ working conditions for migrant workers.

The organizers are also upset about Qatar’s “far-fetched” claim that the competition will mark the “first carbon-neutral FIFA World Cup in history.” Additionally, Asia will once again serve as the FIFA World Cup host. Japan and South Korea jointly hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2002.

Lusail Stadium Qatar World Cup 2022

Islamic bowls and Qatari architecture influenced the layout of the largest venue for the World Cup 2022. The stadium’s architect has compared it to a “golden vessel.” The Golden triangular panels mounted on a steel frame with a curved exterior conceals the 80,000 seats in the Lusail Stadium, which are arranged over two levels.

The location’s first game is scheduled for November 22. Its final match on December 18 was designed with assistance from structural engineer Arup and sports architecture specialist Populous. Images of the golden Lusail Stadium in Qatar, which will host the FIFA World Cup 2022 final, have been released by the UK studio Foster + Partners.

On September 9, a match between Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal SFC and Egyptian Premier League winners Zamalek served as the stadium’s official opening ceremony. The stadium will host ten games at this year’s tournament, including the World Cup final.

The 80,000-seat stadium in Lusail, north of Doha, was designed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with structural engineer Arup and sports architect Populous. Enveloped by a brilliant exterior, being a striking expansion to the rising town was planned.

According to Luke Fox, head of the studio at Foster + Partners,

“Our goal was to design a striking yet straightforward form that reflects the building’s purpose, adapts to the Qatari climate, and improves the theatricality of the event.”

The studio referred to the stadium as a “golden vessel,” Its design was influenced by Islamic bowls and local architecture.

The curved form of the perforated facade was created by supporting a number of flat, triangular pieces on a steel frame. A perforated screen that lets light into the internal concourses is created by triangular openings in the facade that refer to the stadium’s structure.

The studio says that the goal of the design was to create an “immersive atmosphere” for players and spectators, with fans positioned as close to the pitch as possible. Entrance gates are under the golden facade’s curve. The stadium is on a large podium. The entrance gates are under the golden facade’s curve and lead to a concourse between the two stands.

There are numerous triangular openings on the golden front. A “spoke-wheel” cable net roof covers the stadium, providing fans and players shade. Along with the facade, the 307-meter-diameter structure was designed to help reduce energy consumption. It is one of the largest stadium structures ever constructed.

A complicated cable system connects the outer compression ring to the central tension ring, as the studio explained. Without the need for supporting columns, this method creates a roof with a large expanse.”Fans will also be cooled by outdoor air conditioning inside the stadium, which has received a five-star rating from the Global Sustainability Assessment System.

Foster + Partners hopes that the stadium, which will be shaded by a cable net roof and have a capacity of around 40,000 after the tournament, will remain a lasting symbol for the country’s World Cup. Foster + Partners senior partner Angus Campbell said,

“We are incredibly proud to design a distinctive and easily recognizable emblem for Qatar as the FIFA World Cup host nation using the experience of redesigning Wembley Stadium, which is now an iconic arch.”

The stadium, according to the team, “will be a truly memorable venue for this year’s championship as well as many other international events in the future.” The most recent venue that has been constructed in advance of the tournament, which will begin on November 20 and conclude on December 18, is Lusail Stadium.

Fenwick Iribarren Architects, Schlaich Bergermann Partner, and Hilson Moran, an engineering firm, collaborated on the design of Stadium 974. The steel structure and repurposed shipping containers that make up its modular structure are recycled components. After the football tournament in 2022, the goal is for the stadium to be taken down and rebuilt either in a new location or as a series of smaller venues.

Its modular design also reduced construction costs, construction time, and waste of materials. The organizers claimed that water efficiency methods would guarantee a 40% reduction in water use compared to a conventional stadium development. The quantity of containers used in its construction represents the name of Stadium 974.

Additionally, the country’s international dialing code is 974. The shipping containers were used to transport building supplies to the location are evidence of the site’s industrial past. While shaping parts of the stadium’s outside, some steel holders contain flights of stairs, snack bars and washrooms. GSAS rates green infrastructure and construction throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

Six stars are the highest possible rating for a structure’s design, construction, and operation. Certification is available. The state of the stadium and the holes between the seats work with normal ventilation. It isn’t expected to mean fake cooling. The stadium’s proximity to the sea aids in this.

The SC also hopes the project will be “an innovative blueprint” for more environmentally friendly stadium designs for more significant events in the future. On November 30, the stadium will host its first match. The Al Thumama Stadium, designed by Ibrahim M. Jaidah, and the Education City Stadium, designed by Fenwick Iribarren Architects, are two other recently completed stadiums for the tournament.

Considering that it’s close to Hamad International Airport, Stadium 974 is the only stadium located close to the sea. Football fans will also visit it for the first time as a stadium when they arrive in Qatar for the tournament. Yasir Al Jamal, SC chairman and engineer, stated,

“The eye-catching Stadium 974 is a resolute emblem of innovation and sustainability.” The SC’s secretary-general, Hassan Al Thawadi, added, “For upcoming mega-event hosts, this fabulous venue is a game-changer, in our opinion.”

Although critics have previously compared it to female genitalia, Its distinctive shape is meant to resemble a dhow’s sail, a traditional fishing boat found in the city’s harbor. The Al Wakrah Sports Club football team will relocate to the stadium following the tournament.

The Al Wakrah Stadium, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, will serve as the venue for Qatar’s FIFA World Cup 2022. It is currently hosting the first match. The 40,000-seat stadium in Al Wakrah, about 10 miles south of Doha, will open with tonight’s Amir Cup final between Al Sadd and Al Duhail.

The distinctive shape of the Al Wakrah Stadium, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, was inspired by the dhows, or typical fishing boats, seen in the city’s harbor. However, many people compared the stadium’s shape to that of female genitalia when they first saw images of it.

The stadium roof can be retracted entirely to keep the players and spectators cool, making it possible to use the building year-round. Al Wakrah Stadium will undoubtedly rank among the most recognizable venues in World Cup 2022. 

“Over the coming years, I’m excited to collaborate with all of our stakeholders., friends, and colleagues to enjoy many more significant occasions.”

Similar to the studio’s London Aquatic Center, which saw it’s capacity decrease from 17,500 to 2,800 following the 2012 Olympic Games, the stadium’s capacity will be reduced to 20,000 following the World Cup 2022. Al Wakrah Sports Club will also make the stadium their permanent home.

The Asian Games and the  Arabian Gulf Cup were held in the stadium before the tournament. On November 21, it will hold its first World Cup 2022 event. Adding a canopy that arches over the building’s roof and modern digital lighting are two recent additions to the structure since its opening in 1976.

Qatar has undergone a renovation of one of the eight venues hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022. One of them is the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. The nation’s original architect, Dar Al-Handasah, has renovated the national stadium, which was built in 1976 so that it can be used for the tournament, which starts later this month.

In order to meet FIFA’s hosting standards, Khalifa International Stadium underwent a significant renovation in 2017 that included the addition of 12,000 seats. It will host games up to and including the third-place play-off and was the first stadium to be prepared for the FIFA World Cup 2022.

A canopy has been added to the stadium’s exterior, extending between its two arches and covering its roof, which is the building’s most recognizable feature. In conjunction with the upgraded cooling system in the stadium, this has been added to help keep players and fans cool in the stands and on the field during the tournament.

The facade of the building has also been updated, and it now features cutting-edge digital lighting to animate it at night during the tournament. The stadium’s interior has undergone significant renovations, adding 12,000 seats to its upper tiers. Additionally, several hospitality facilities have been established.

The Arabian Gulf Cup, the Asian Games, and the IAAF World Athletics Championships have all been held at the Khalifa International Stadium since it opened in Doha 46 years ago. It is a part of the Aspire Zone, which was built for the Asian Games in 2006 and includes a park, aquatics center, and multipurpose sports hall. It is 10 kilometers from the city center of Doha.

The Khalifa Worldwide stadium draftsman Dar Al-Handasah has additionally made the Al Bayt stadium, which is educated by Bayt al sha’ar – tents involved by roaming individuals in Qatar. Dar Al-Handasah’s Al Bayt Stadium is a tent-like stadium in Al Khor that will play host to the football tournament’s World Cup 2022 first game on November 20.

Al Bayt Stadium Qatar
Al Bayt Stadium Qatar World Cup 2022

Dar Al-Handasah is a multidisciplinary studio. The stadium’s design, called the Al Bayt Stadium, is inspired by the regional nomads’ traditional Bayt al Sha’ar tents. It has four stands with 60,000 seats inside. A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-woven fiberglass membrane gives it its distinctive peaked shape, and a retractable roof complements the stadium’s cooling technologies.

Before a luxury hotel is constructed in its place following the World Cup 2022, Its uppermost row of seats will be eliminated and used to assist in the construction of sporting infrastructure in other nations. For the FIFA World Cup 2022, the 60,000-person Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar, has been completed by the multidisciplinary studio Dar Al-Handasah.

The distinctive tent-like structure of the stadium, which will play host to the inaugural game of the football tournament in November, is what sets it apart. The Al Bayt Stadium was constructed in the northern port city of Al Khor and is named for the historic Bayt al sha’ar tents that nomadic people in the country and the region used to live there.

These tented structures had a direct impact on the design of Dar Al-Handasah. The tent-like shape was created by covering the exterior walls and peak roofs of each of the four stands surrounding the pitch with a PTFE-woven fiberglass membrane. The stadium is enclosed by a roof that can be retracted to connect the four stands.

According to Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, “the tent design is efficient, as well as incredibly eye-catching.”

“The retractable roof system and shade provided by the tent structure complement the stadium’s cooling technologies, assisting in maintaining a comfortable interior temperature without consuming additional power.”

In further reference to the traditional tents used by nomadic people, the stadium’s exterior PTFE membrane was colored traditional black, red, and white. The building has also included weaving patterns that the nomadic tribes used.

The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy stated, “Traditionally, the tents of nomadic tribes and families in Qatar could be identified by black stripes like those on the stadium’s distinctive exterior and by the vibrant side patterns that will greet fans once inside the stadium.”

The stadium’s upper tier of seating will be removed following the tournament to bring the venue’s capacity down to 32,000. The tournament’s organizers claim that these stands will be donated to assist in the construction of sporting infrastructure in other nations.

The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy stated, “After the tournament, the stadium will reach even more people worldwide in a remarkable way.”It is portable, just like the tent of a true nomad. The upper tier will become a luxury hotel when the seating is taken down. Following the tournament, the stadium will also house a shopping center, restaurants, a gym, a sports medicine hospital, and a community hall.

Al Thumama Stadium Qatar World Cup 2022

The circular Al Thumama Stadium was inspired by a Middle Eastern men’s traditional gahfiya cap designed by Qatari architect Ibrahim M. Jaidah. The stadium, which is south of Doha and has a circular shape and a concrete bowl, has 40,000 seats for fans and will host its first match on November 21.

According to the architect, the unique design also serves a practical purpose by shielding spectators from the sun “in the same way that one covers one’s head to protect it from the heat with a gahfiya” as the architect puts it. A solar-powered air conditioning system will complement this. Following the event, it is also planned to construct a boutique hotel with rooms facing the pitch in its upper tier.

In preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2022, The Qatari architect Ibrahim M. Jaidah’s Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, which was modeled after a gahfiya cap, has officially opened. The sixth venue that will be tournament-ready before the World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in Qatar the following year, is the 40,000-capacity stadium in the south of Doha.

The stadium, which is called Al Thumama Stadium after a local tree, has a distinctive circular shape. It was designed to resemble a gahfiya, a traditional woven head cap worn by men all over the Middle East, by Jaidah, the chief architect of the Arab Engineering Bureau. Jaidah stated,

“I remember that night, I got my hands on all kinds of gahfiyas to study the different patterns on each.”

“I’ve always worn it since I was a kid, but I wasn’t expecting to see all the different shapes and the depth of their designs,” she said.

Jaidah continued, “I used to get up at midnight to examine the patterns on the various gahfiyas.”

“In the end, I developed a rough sketch that I liked and told my engineers that this will be the design we go with.”

One of several organizations invited by Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy to design a stadium for the site based on a gahfiya was Jaidah and his studio Arab Engineering Bureau. He hopes the country’s modern and traditional characteristics will be reflected in his design. “I had a feeling that my rivals were going to modernize the original shape completely; Jaidah said, “removing its traditional elements and giving it a completely different appearance from a gahfiya.”

“I wanted to ensure that my design was modern, but I also didn’t want to take away its traditional look. I placed a high priority on the preservation of the local heritage and identity.”

40,000 seats will be available in the concrete bowl of the circular stadium during World Cup 2022. As part of the stadium’s cooling strategy, the head-shaped canopy above and around players and spectators will provide shade.

Jaidah stated, “The shape of the gahfiya does not just serve a design purpose.”

“The shape is also used to protect spectators from the sun, in a manner similar to how the gahfiya is used to protect one’s head from heat.”

Al Thumama Stadium, like many World Cup venues that will be used in November and December, will be artificially cooled.

The stadium’s capacity will be reduced following the World Cup 2022 by removing 20,000 seats from the upper stands. A 60-room boutique hotel with a direct view of the pitch will replace them.

Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium Qatar World Cup 2022

Pattern Design and Ramboll of  Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium was designed by the UK architecture firm Pattern Design and the engineering firm Ramboll to act as a marker showing where you entered or left the desert.

Around the edges, solid concession stands that are a nod to the sand dunes that are nearby are juxtaposed. In order to make the open-air pitch more comfortable for the 40,000 spectators and players, just like all other tournament locations. The first game will take place here on November 21.

Al Rayyan’s Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium has officially opened just two years before the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar when games will be played on an artificially cooled field. The 40,000-seat stadium on the western edge of the Doha metropolitan area, which is referred to as the “entrance to the desert, was designed by the UK architecture studio Pattern Design.

On December 18, the Amir Cup final was held at the stadium, which will host seven matches during the World Cup 2022. Following the Education City Stadium, which was designed by Pattern Design and Fenwick-Iribarren Architects, this is the fourth stadium that has been constructed in advance of the World Cup; the Khalifa International Stadium and the Al Wakrah Stadium, both of which were designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

The stadium was inspired by its location, which was built on the desert’s edge and served as a landmark for those entering or leaving the city. Pattern Design associate director Luke Harrison stated, “It acts as a literal marker along the Durkan highways as you move into the desert of Qatar.” Numerous curved concession stands positioned around the stadium are modeled after the sand dunes in the nearby desert.

Harrison explained the following: “The desert acted as the inspiration for the form of the external stadium concessions, envisaged as dunes.”

“The local culture celebrates the desert and takes weekends off to relax in the desert instead of in the city. With exterior sheltered concourse areas within the dunes that are ideal for use during the World Cup’s winter months, we have attempted to capture this.”

Multimedia screens surround the stadium and are protected by a metal screen of various Qatari architectural forms. Harrison stated,

“The facade is a reimagining of the traditional Qatari facade decoration called Naqsh.”

He continued, “each pattern is rooted in the Qatari heritage and can be found on the houses of craftsmen and tradesmen throughout Doha.”

The facade employs the concept of seamlessly transitioning patterns from traditional motifs into new variations that connect each design by evolving the Qatari patterning tradition. According to the architecture studio, an “open-air-cooled venue” will be created within the stadium for the 40,000 spectators and players.

Each seat is cooled from below or above, while air from the sides of the pitch cools the pitch. Harrison added,

“These localized micro-climates ensure that all relevant spaces are cooled without the need to cool the stadium volume.”

To reduce the stadium’s capacity following the World Cup 2022, approximately 20,00 seats in the upper bowl will be removed. The seats will then be reused in another location. Al Rayyan SC will eventually make the stadium their permanent home.

Education City Stadium Qatar World Cup 2022

The Education City Stadium, designed by Fenwick-Iribarren Architects and Pattern Design, is the eighth and last location for the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022. It has been called as “diamond in the desert.” On November 22, it will play its first match. The stadium’s nickname derives from its diamond-shaped facade, inspired by traditional Arabic architecture.

Education City Stadium is the 3rd venue built for the event, following the renovation of the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha and the debut of the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, both of which were designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

The venue, which bears the building’s name and was designed in London by Pattern Design from a concept by the Spanish studio Fenwick-Iribarren Architects, is in the Education City university district, west of Doha. Its facade is made of a triangular tessellating pattern inspired by Arabic architecture and intended to block the country’s intense sunlight.

At night, the facade can be illuminated. According to Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy,

“the stadium’s facade features triangles that form complex, diamond-like geometrical patterns that as the sun moves across the sky, they seem to alter in color.”

“The stadium’s design is akin to a diamond in that it stands for excellence, sturdiness, and resilience.

It will become a treasured object, both for the memories it holds and its value to the nation in the future.” It has low-toxicity indoor materials, uses LED sports lighting, and was built with 29% recycled materials. It is close to the Doha Metro, which makes it easy to get around on public transportation. In total, 85% of the materials came from within the region.

The stadium will be transformed into a sports and athletics hub for the community and nearby universities following the World Cup 2022. To bring the stadium’s capacity down to 20,000, The upper tier of the modular seating will be removed., and parts of the building will be turned into classrooms and event spaces that universities can use.
