Doha: The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) and Qatar Foundation (QF) have announced the completion of the third tournament venue for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
The Education City Stadium is labelled the 'jewel of the desert' because its design, with the floodlights on, will make the stadium sparkle at night, as if a jewel in the desert, hence the nickname. It is one of the stadiums that will host the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. It will be one of the most prominent environmentally sustainable stadiums in the world, in addition to its design that is inspired by Islamic architecture.
The Education City Stadium has a design that draws on the rich history of Islamic architecture, blending it with striking modernity. The facade features triangles that form complex, diamond-esque geometrical patterns, appearing to change colour with the sun's movement across the sky. Like diamonds, the stadium's design represents quality, durability and resilience, and will become something to be treasure.
One of the the stadium's most important characteristic is its location at the heart of Education City. The stadium will overlook the most important main roads, starting with the southern Madinat Khalifa area to the coastal city of Dukhan.
The landscape around Education City Stadium is dotted with leading universities, where cutting-edge research is conducted and academics inspire their students to be at their best. This whole area, the home of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, buzzes with invention and a determination to make the FIFA World Cup 2022™ a catalyst for social and human development.
