Stadium 974 – some fun facts for you!
Here are some interesting facts about the venue!
Stadium 974 is the first fully demountable stadium in FIFA World Cup history. After next year’s tournament they will pull it apart and reuse the bits and pieces in other projects! How cool is that?
Most people think that this stadium’s name is derived from Qatar’s international dialing code, but there’s more! It also indicates the exact number of shipping containers used for the project. 974 CONTAINERS- let that sink in.
Capacity of Stadium 974 is 40,000, which is the average capacity of Qatar’s World Cup stadiums. The exceptions are Al Bayt Stadium with over 60,000 capacity, and Lusail Stadium with 80,000!
Once the World Cup is finished, the stadium will be dismantled and will make way for a family oriented waterfront development.
