World Class Stadium for World Cup 2022

World Class Stadium for World Cup 2022

ITP’s Powerlon VCL 170 was used for the spectacular Al Rayyan Stadium in Qatar, built as one of the venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The design for the new Al Rayyan Stadium, 20 km from the centre of Doha, incorporates symbols of Qatari culture into its spectacular undulating façade. The facilities surrounding the venue will also mirror the country, with structures created to resemble the sand dunes that surround traditional desert tents.

The stadium and surrounds have been designed with sustainability in mind. After the World Cup ends, half the 40,000 modular seats will be removed and donated to football development projects outside of the country. The post-tournament arena will become the home to Al Rayyan SC, the popular local football club.
More than 80 per cent of the construction materials being used are recycled, including material from the demolished stadium that previously occupied the site. Trees that once surrounded the old venue have been retained for future replanting, minimising damage to the natural environment.
