This FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 venue is constructed using 974 certified shipping containers and modular steel elements, echoing the nearby port and Doha's long maritime history.
The result is a distinctive, boldly colourful and thoroughly modern arena that look like it is made from building blocks.
This stadium's truly innovative design will also allow it to be fully dismantled after the tournament – a first for a FIFA World Cup venue and a sign of Qatar's commitment to sustainability. Many elements of the arena, including all 40,000 seats, the containers and even the roof, will be re-used, providing valuable infrastructure to sporting and non-sporting projects elsewhere.
The design concept resulted in the swift, cost-efficient construction of a stunning arena, which have an elegant curved square form. The enclosed shape of the stadium will ensure a memorable atmosphere – for fans and players alike – at vital FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches.
Fenwick Iribarren Architects are the visionaries behind this venue's bold design.
