One of the seven new stadiums designed to host the event will be removed once the 2022 World Cup reaches the round of 16.
Up to 7 new stadiums are being built by the 2022 World Cup host nation, Qatar, who has also modernised and renovated the current stadiums. This nation has incurred costs totaling up to US$ 6.5 billion just for the venue.
As is well known, Qatar decided to remove stadium 974 because it will be left empty after the event, much as certain buildings built in the other host nations of South Africa, Brazil, and Russia.
However, the idea of dismantling does not mean throwing away. This comes from the special design of the 974 yard when it is made up of a modular combination of containers and a steel frame. That makes it more cost-effective than traditional yards.
But above all, this structure allows the yard to be completely dismantled after use. 974 is also the first stadium in the history of the World Cup to do this.
After being completely dismantled, all materials will be preserved, then can be shipped abroad for reuse. Accordingly, the host country Qatar is said to be willing to give away the 974 field for the purpose of “donating for the development of football abroad”.
Before the match Brazil vs Korea, stadium 974 was the venue of 6 matches in the group stage including Mexico vs Poland; Portugal vs Ghana; France vs Denmark; Brazil vs Switzerland; Poland vs Argentina and Serbia vs Switzerland.
Besides stadium 974, some other works of the 2022 World Cup will also be converted into function after the tournament closes.
According to reports, Al Janoub Stadium will donate half of the total 40,000 seats while Al Bayt is expected to be turned into the location of a luxury hotel.
