December 3 – With precision timing exactly four years after they won the vote to stage the 2022 World Cup, Qatar organisers have unveiled designs for their fourth planned venue, the 40,000-seat Qatar Foundation Stadium.
Designed by Spanish firm RFA Fenwick Iribarren Architects, the stadium and associated precinct is expected to be completed in 2018 and will also offer health and medical clinics for adults and children, male and female gymnasiums, swimming pool, tennis courts, football pitches, cycling and climbing.
The stadium is due to be completed in 2018 and will be reduced to 25,000 capacity after the World Cup to meet with legacy plans.
The Qatar Foundation stadium is the second World Cup venue to be unveiled in a week.
“This is another key milestone in our preparations for hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup,” said Hassan Al Thawadi, head of the Qatar 2022 delivery and legacy committee.
