The Al Wakrah Stadium will receive 40000 seats for the 2022 World Cup

The death of architect Zaha Hadid of the Al Wakrah Stadium was accompanied by much disappointment in the world. However, now that construction work on the stadium is progressing, the honor for the architect is growing. The Al Wakrah Stadium is one of the twelve football stadiums for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The football stadium is being built 15 kilometers south of the city of Doha. The concrete pillars are already in the ground and the main works can soon start according to the main contractor. The main contractor started installing large cranes for the steel roof construction in January 2016.

All infrastructure and foundations have been laid, so that the size of the football stadium is already visible. Four groups of pillars are ready to support the roof. In about 30 months, most of the work must be completed.

The Al Wakrah Stadium, before it will be used during the 2022 World Cup, will be the new home stadium of Al Wakrah Sports Club. The Qatar club is expected to be able to enter the 48-meter-high stadium by the end of 2018.

Project manager Thani Khalifa Al Zarraa is proud that Hadid's spirit lives on in Qatar and that & eacute; & eacute; n of the most beautiful football stadiums refers to her.

Al Wakrah Stadium and the Doha Metro are directly connected to the capital and will be ready well in time for the World Cup in 2022. During the World Cup, matches will be held in the stadium and played with the quarterfinals.

The stadium has a capacity of 40,000 seats. After the football tournament, the top ring will be stripped of 20,000 seats, so that the local club can still receive 20,000 spectators. The removed seats are given a different purpose, so that all parts of the Al Wakrah Stadium remain useful to the community.
