“Innovation has always been central to our plans for delivering a historic FIFA World Cup that leaves a legacy for Qatar and the world, and there is no better example of this than the design of Ras Abu Aboud Stadium,” commented Hassan Al Thawadi, SC secretary general. “This venue offers the perfect legacy, capable of being reassembled in a new location in its entirety or built into numerous small sports and cultural venues.”

Also dubbed the ‘Ras Abu Aboud Stadium’, the venue’s modular design renders it sustainable. Sustainability is manifested in decreasing the stadium’s carbon emissions, needing a lesser number of materials to construct, and diminishing waste production.
The construction process has started recently and is slated to finish in 2020.
