Expect Amazing Stadiums!Posted by abc_nasir_xyz
The bid unveiled five carbon-neutral, air-conditioned stadia in Dubai yesterday. The five stadiums were revealed alongside a showcase stadium, which will be completed in July. We’re creating the showcase stadium to demonstrate the technology we’ll use to keep our stadiums, all of which are outdoors, at a cool and constant 27 degrees Celsius during the FIFA World Cup™. The five stadia – Al-Khor, Al-Wakrah, Al-Shamal, Al-Rayyan, Al-Gharafa – were unveiled on the sidelines of SportAccord, an annual conference held this year in Dubai that offers the global sports community an opportunity to meet, network and further the cause of international sports. Each of the five stadiums will harness the power of the suns rays to provide a cool environment for players and fans by converting solar energy into electricity that will then be used to cool both fans and players at the stadiums. When games are not taking place, the solar installations at the stadia will export energy onto the power grid. During matches, the stadia will draw energy from the grid. This is the basis for the stadiums’ carbon-neutrality. Along with the stadiums themselves, the cooling technology will be used in fan zones and practice pitches, ensuring that fans will be comfortable throughout their time at FIFA World Cup™. Another innovation we’ve developed is the creation of modular stadiums. The upper tier of each of the five stadiums will be removed after Qatar hosts the FIFA World Cup™. They will then be donated to developing countries that lack sports infrastructure. During the FIFA World Cup™, each stadium will be able to accommodate between 40,000 and 50,000 fans. When the tournament ends, the lower tiers of the stadia will remain in Qatar, able to accommodate between 20,000 and 25,000 fans, suitable for local football, while the upper tiers will be sent to developing nations. We see sending the stadiums to developing nations as an integral part of our bid, as doing so will allow for the further development of football on the global stage. Along with the stadiums, we plan to make the cooling technologies we’ve developed available to other countries in hot climates, so that they too can host major sporting events. Finally, we’ll be able to adapt the technologies we’re pioneering now for other uses. Many activities that were previously considered off-limits in the summer months, such as outdoor football training, will be feasible. We’ll be taking a closer look at the engineering of our revolutionary cooling system in the coming days. For now, let’s take a look at each of the individual stadiums! • Al-Khor is a brand new stadium that will be built in the city of Al-Khor, 50 kilometers north of Doha. • The stadium takes its design cues from the seashell. • During the FIFA World Cup™ the stadium will hold 45,330 fans. A permanent lower tier will have 25,500 seats while a modular upper tier will have 19,830 seats. • All seats will be covered, and some will have stunning views of the Arabian Sea. • Fans will be able to arrive by water taxi, train and car. AL-WAKRAH • Al-Wakrah is a brand new stadium that will be built in Al-Wakrah, a city 20 kilometers south of Doha. • The stadium and surrounding sports complex are designed to represent an oasis. The sporting complex will include an aquatic center and other sporting facilities, along with a spa and retail space. • During the FIFA World Cup™ the stadium will hold 45,120 fans. A permanent lower tier will have 25,500 seats while a modular upper tier will have 19,620 seats. • Fans will be able to arrive by train or by using the new Doha Expressway. AL-SHAMAL • Al-Shamal is a brand new stadium that will be built in western Qatar. • The stadium takes its design cues from the dhow, the traditional fishing vessel in the Arabian Gulf. • During the FIFA World Cup™ the stadium will hold 45,330 fans. A permanent lower tier will have 25,500 seats while a modular upper tier will have 19,830 seats • Fans will be able to arrive by water taxi, train and car. It will be easily accessible from the Qatar-Bahrain Friendship Bridge, and we expect that at least 10% of fans will arrive from Bahrain. AL-RAYYAN • Al-Rayyan is an existing stadium in a Doha suburb that will be expanded for the FIFA World Cup™. • The stadium includes a “media façade” with the capacity to project other football matches, news and advertisements onto the outside of the stadium. • During the FIFA World Cup™ the stadium will hold 44,740 fans. The existing lower tier has 21,282 seats while a modular upper tier will have 23,458 seats. Roofing elements will be added so that all seats are covered. • Fans will be able to arrive by train and car. AL-GHARAFA • Al-Gharafa is an existing stadium in a suburb of Doha that will be expanded for the FIFA World Cup™. • The façade will be made up of the colours of the teams playing in the 2022 FIFA World Cup™, representing the values of the global football community. During the FIFA World Cup™ the stadium will hold 44,740 fans. The existing lower tier has 21,175 seats while a modular upper tier will have 23,565 seats. Roofing elements will be added so that all seats are covered. • Fans will be able to arrive by train and car. As you can tell, all of the stadiums will be accessible via the rail network Qatar is currently constructing. The compactness of Qatar will be used to the advantage of fans and players, as every stadium is 1 hour or less from all other stadiums. Fans will be able to see more matches and players will have more time to focus on the game. And we aren’t done yet! Remember we still have seven more stadiums to reveal, along with many other surprises [url= DOHA DIAMOND Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/03/2010 08:10PM by abc_nasir_xyz.
Qatar's plans for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ include 12 eco-friendly, carbon-neutral stadiums. All of the stadiums will harness the power of the suns rays to provide a cool environment for players and fans by converting solar energy into electricity that will then be used to cool both fans and players. When games are not taking place, the solar installations at the stadiums will export energy onto the power grid. During matches, the stadiums will draw energy from the grid. This is the basis for the stadiums’ carbon-neutrality. The upper tier of 9 of the stadiums will be removed after the tournament. One, Doha Port Stadium, will be completely modular, and will be deconstructed following the FIFA World Cup™. During the event, if we win the right to host, the capacity of most stadiums will be between 40,000 and 50,000 fans, with one much larger stadium for hosting the opening and final matches, amongst others. When the tournament ends, the lower tiers of the stadiums will remain in Qatar. Able to accommodate between 20,000 and 25,000 fans, the smaller stadiums will be suitable for football and other sports. The upper tiers will be sent to developing nations, which often lack sufficient football infrastructure. We see sending the stadiums to developing nations as an integral part of our bid, as doing so will allow for the further development of football on the global stage. Along with the stadiums, we plan to make the cooling technologies we have developed available to other countries in hot climates, so that they too can host major sporting events. Lusail Iconic Stadium The new Lusail Iconic Stadium, with a capacity of 86,250, will host the opening and final matches of the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ if Qatar is granted hosting rights. Located in Lusail City, the stadium takes its inspiration from the sail of a traditional dhow boat and is surrounded by water. After the FIFA World Cup™, the stadium will be used to host other spectacular sporting and cultural events. Doha Port Stadium e new Doha Port Stadium will be a completely modular stadium with 44,950 seats. The stadium, which will sit on an artificial peninsula in the Gulf, is designed to evoke its marine setting. Water from the Gulf will run over its outer facade, aiding in the cooling process and adding to its visual allure. Fans will have the option of arriving on a water taxi or ferry. After the FIFA World Cup™, the whole stadium will be disassembled and the seats sent to developing countries to further their football development. Sports City Stadium Drawing inspiration from traditional Arab tents, Sports City Stadium will have 47,560 seats. A retractable roof, partly retractable pitch and retractable stands will make the stadium Qatar's premiere multi-use facility in the decades following the 2022 FIFA World Cup™. The stadiums innovative features will make it an ideal venue for football matches, but also concerts, theatre performances and non-football related athletic events. Education City Stadium Education City Stadium takes the form of a jagged diamond, glittering by day and glowing by night. The 45,350-seat stadium will be located in the midst of several university campuses at Education City, easily accessible for fans both in Qatar and in neighbouring Bahrain, which will be only 51 minutes away from the stadium by high-speed rail. Following the FIFA World Cup™, the stadium will retain 25,000 seats for use by university athletic teams. Umm Slal Stadium Umm Slal Stadium, located in the vicinity of one of Qatar's most historically important forts, will have 45,120 seats. The design is a modern interpretation of traditional Arab forts, like the one in nearby Umm Slal Mohammed. After the FIFA World Cup™, seating capacity will be reduced to 25,500. The stadium will be used by Umm Slal F.C. Qatar University Stadium Redesigned for Qatar's successful hosting of the 2006 Asian Games, Khalifa International Stadium's current capacity of 50,000 will be expanded to 68,030 for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium, which includes sweeping arcs and partially covered stands, is the centerpiece of Aspire Zone, a sports complex that includes the Aspire Academy for Sports Excellence, ASPETAR Sports Medicine Hospital and many other sporting venues.
