Al Wakrah Stadium

2022 may seem a long way off, but that hasnt stopped Qatar 2022 from releasing the concept designs for its proposed stadia, should the country win the bid to host the FIFA World Cup at this time. Designed by Albert Speer & Partner GmbH, the stadiums display striking and dramatic facades and incorporate state-of-the-art technology in an effort to stand out from the crowd bidding to host this popular tournament. Designs for Al Wakrah suggest not only a singular stadium but rather an extensive sports complex, including a multi-purpose hall, themed swimming-pool, spa zone and shopping mall alongside the obvious sports facilities. The entrance to the 45,000-seater stadium itself will face onto a stunning plaza, creating the sense of one large extended park.
