The World Cup is approaching in Qatar and the Persian Gulf nation is finishing all preparations for the event to be held between November 21 and December 19, 2022.
There will be eight stadiums that will host World Cup matches, some of which are newly created, such as 974 in Doha, a place where Mundo Deportivo had access.
Detachable and made of containers
The 40,000-seat 974 is located in Doha and is the closest stadium to the airport. In addition to its colorful appearance, it has some peculiarities, starting with being the only one built in a modular way, that will allow it to be dismantled when the World Cup is over if the administrations think it appropriate. .
Its design makes an impact, as it is built using cargo containers, a nod to the area’s port tradition. In particular, 974 of them were used, a number that gives its name to the stadium and in conjunction with the Qatari telephone prefix (+974).
Maintenance
The whole design of this stadium, by Fenwick Iribarren
Architects, are taught to be most sustainable and environmentally friendly. It is just one of eight World Cup venues that will not have air conditioning and is designed to save up to 40% water.
Most of the steel used in its construction was recycled, something that made it possible to reduce manufacturing costs by up to 20%.
Group stage at round of 16
974, located in front of Doha’s West Coast, will host several World Cup group stage matches, as well as a round of 16.
Fans can easily get around it, as there is a metro station that connects it to Doha city center.
