The designs for the latest World Cup stadium in Qatar are coming to life, one container at a time.
The Ras Abu Aboud stadium in Doha will be the first fully reusable FIFA stadium for the 2022 event.
All of its components are recyclable and the container-sized building blocks are arriving to port filled with the materials used to make the stadium.
The containers themselves will be used to make everything from the stadium’s bathrooms, offices and hospitality boxes.
Sustainability is the main focus for its builders.
“From the very early stages in the design, we have considered how every single component of the stadium can be reused, whether it’s the container or the steel structure that will hold the containers and the roof as well,” according to project manager Mohammed Al Mulla.
The project is expected to be finished by the end of next year. It is one of seven stadiums being built just for 2022.
More than 90 containers of the 1,000 to be used in total have already arrived from China.
