The football World Cup, which starts this Sunday in Qatar, is unique in many respects. Not only is this the first World Cup to be held in any Arab country, it is also different in that it is being held in winter. Usually the World Cup is played in May, June or July.

On the one hand, the administration of Qatar and FIFA are facing questions from all over the world on the subject of human rights, on the other hand, fans and football pundits are increasingly concerned about the expenses incurred on this World Cup, its marketing and the way it is organized. They are discussing.

All these things aside, but if you look at the stadiums being built by the Qatar administration, some of them are nothing less than masterpieces. Many of the 9 stadiums to be built for the tournament are unique for one reason or another, but there is one stadium that stands out not only in its design but also in its structure.



It is located on the banks of a river in the capital city of Doha and is only a few kilometers from Hamad International Airport.

The design of the stadium is arranged in such a way that natural air circulates in the stadium. Which means that the arena does not need an air conditioning system. This has also helped in reducing energy costs. Seven World Cup matches will be played in this stadium. Qatari officials say the entire project pays tribute to the maritime traditions and history of the nearby port and Doha.

The stadium is built on a 974 waterfront site and is located on an artificial island. It is named after the international dialing code for Qatar (+974) and has been constructed using 974 recycled shipping containers.

The unique thing is that this stadium is temporary, meaning that after the football world cup, the shipping containers and seats used in the stadium will be dismantled and donated as aid to the less developed countries of the world. This first temporary stadium in the history of the FIFA World Cup has a seating capacity of about 40,000 people.
