Qatar’s won the right to host the 2022 World Cup finals.The small Middle Eastern country beat bids from Australia, the United States and 2004 World Cup co-hosts Japan and South Korea.
The stadiums were designed by Albert Speer & Partner, GmbH, and they represent a huge leap forward in energy-efficiency as well as looking like an alien invasion in progress. The five stadiums will use solar energy to power air-conditioning systems that will keep fans and players cool during the games, in the midst of the Middle Eastern summer.
Qatar’s staging of the tournament had come in for some criticism because of the weather in the country during June and July – when temperatures can rise as high as 50 degrees Celsius – while the close proximity of the stadiums had also raised some questions.
Yet the plans for the stadiums, which are yet to be built, are incredible. Here, we take a look into the future and how the 2022 World Cup will look.
In this handout illustration provided by Qatar 2022, the Qatar 2022 Bid Committee today unveiled detailed plans for the iconic Lusail Stadium. With a capacity in excess of 86,000 and surrounded by water, the stadium would host the World Cup Opening Match and Final.
