Each of the five stadiums will harness the power of the suns rays to provide a cool environment for players and fans by converting solar energy into electricity that will then be used to cool both fans and players at the stadiums. When games are not taking place, the solar installations at the stadia will export energy onto the power grid. During matches, the stadia will draw energy from the grid. This is the basis for the stadiums’ carbon-neutrality.
The five eco-friendly, carbon-neutral stadia include:
- Al-Khor
- Al-Wakrah
- Al-Shamal
- Al-Rayyan and
- Al-Gharafa
Al-Khor Stadium
Al-Rayyan Stadium
Al-Shamal Stadium
A 45,000+ seat capacity beauty also with a permanent lower tier of 25,500 seats and a modular upper tier of 19,000+ seats. The inspiration for the striking form is derived from the “dhow” fishing boat of the Arabian Gulf.
Al-Wakrah Stadium
and lastly,as well as my personal favourite…
Al-Gharafa Stadium
The very very colourful facade will comprise ribbons to symbolise the nations that will compete in Qatar 2022. The idea is to represent mutual friendship, tolerance and respect in a most engaging manner, something that the tournament stands for.
