Stadium 974

Have you ever heard of a football stadium that can be shipped across nations? Stadium 974, is one of its kind football stadiums built in Doha, Qatar exclusively for the FIFA World Cup 2022. It is the world's first demountable World Cup stadium with shipping containers. The containers are a homage to Qatar's maritime legacy. The number 974 represents both the number of shipping containers used and Qatar’s international dialing code. This stadium is built with prefabricated modules to save materials, time, and cost. So, it is an eco-friendly project. Planned to be completely dismantled and rebuilt at the next FIFA host country, it is the first fully modular stadium in FIFA World Cup history. But, these plans didn’t succeed and the stadium is still in Doha with the original FIFA world cup signage still intact.
