Qatar 2022 released details of five carbon-neutral, air-conditioned stadiums recently. They look f***ing stunning.
AL-KHOR
• Al-Khor is a brand new stadium that will be built in the city of Al-Khor, 50 kilometers north of Doha.
• The stadium takes its design cues from the seashell.
• During the FIFA World Cup™ the stadium will hold 45,330 fans. A permanent lower tier will have 25,500 seats while a modular upper tier will have 19,830 seats.
• All seats will be covered, and some will have stunning views of the Arabian Sea.
• Fans will be able to arrive by water taxi, train and car.
AL-WAKRAH
• Al-Wakrah is a brand new stadium that will be built in Al-Wakrah, a city 20 kilometers south of Doha.
