DOHA: The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) has broken ground on the first proposed Host Venue to be delivered ahead of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. The local construction company has begun major excavation, in preparation of the foundations being laid in September. This latest phase of construction is scheduled to finish around March 2015, with stadium completion expected in 2018. The 40,000-seater NewAl Wakrah Stadium, future home of Al Wakrah Sports Club, was the first of Qatar’s FIFA World Cup™ proposed host venues to be revealed.
