The beautiful city of Qatar is hoping to host the World Cup in 2022, and they got an ace up they’re sleeves, because they allied with Foster + Partners to build an astonishing energy-efficient world-class football stadium.
This project is called the Lusial Iconic Stadium and it will be built to seat over 86,000 spectators. The construction will begin in the capital city of Doha, and it will be adapted for the extreme summer conditions. The canopies surrounding the stadium will generate solar power.
We think that this stadium will enhance Qatar’s chances to win the bid and host the World Cup in 2022, and the problem is that they have serious competition including Australia, South Korea, the United States, England, Japan, Russia, Spain and Portugal, and Belgium and The Netherlands.
Lusial Iconic Stadium will have a saddle-shaped roof that will create the illusion that it floats above the concrete bowl featuring a retractable canopy that can open or close by a push of a button. The project will include access roads and a new metro line to ensure that anyone can quickly get to it.
