For the World Cup, Qatar revealed a stadium that can be disassembled and rebuilt somewhere else. It will be the first totally demountable stadium in World Cup history.
Dubbed 'Stadium 974' which describes the number of shipping containers used in its construction, was designed by Spanish architects Fenwick Iribarren Architects and built from salvaged shipping containers and modular steel.
Stadium 974 has been lauded as a trailblazing example of large-scale event sustainability.
The new stadium will reportedly be demolished and transferred after the 2022 World Cup concludes in December since it will no longer be needed. It is said to have been built primarily out of recycled or recyclable materials.
64 distinct World Cup venues, including Stadium 974, will host 64 matches involving 32 national teams between November 21, 2022, opening day, and December 18, 2022, championship final.
The country seeks to find a balance between development and the environment, according to Bodour Al-Meer, head of sustainability for the Supreme Body for Delivery & Legacy, the local organizing committee in Qatar.
