FIFA President Gianni Infantino visited Ras Abu Aboud Stadium, which will host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches. Infantino was accompanied by HE Hassan al-Thawadi, Secretary General of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy. Constructed using shipping containers, removable seats and other modular ‘building blocks’, the 40,000-seat Ras Abu Aboud Stadium will be entirely dismantled and repurposed after the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Its parts will be used in other sporting or non-sporting projects, setting a new standard in sustainability and introducing bold new ideas in tournament legacy planning.
