FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar – Stadium Details

The kind of money is going to be spent in building 9 new stadiums and renovate the other three, is huge. Thats make 12 stadiums in 7 cities But the wierdest thing is that 7 of these stadiums will be taken down after the world cup and the material will be given to developing countries where another 22 stadiums will be built. I know mental !

Who designed the new stadiums ? Are Stadiums Climate Controled?

German architect “Albert Speer & Partners” have the oppertunity to design 5 of the new 9 stadiums and all of them will have solar powered and carbon neutralized air condition system for both the fans and players. Which will reduce the heat to around 20°C max.
