Stadium 974 is one of the 8 World Cup hosts in Qatar which will start on the 20th of this month.

The 974 stadium was miraculously built as it operates about 974 containers, built on an area of 450,000 square meters. The stadium was built around 2017 and November 2021 and can receive 40,000 people sitting well.

Builder Fenwick Iribarren was the one who provided a blueprint for this stadium that is expected to host about 7 games in the World Cup.


The reason for building this stadium in containers

As the construction of stadiums that would receive the world cup games were taking place they imported many things through containers, the containers became many in the city of Doha so they started asking themselves what to do with them

 Fenwick came up with an idea that they can build a stadium using these Containers and other closed devices so that by the end of the World Cup games it would be easily demolished

Without hesitation, Fenwick immediately put out a master plan outside and the builders started building this stadium. The one who was in charge of the construction of the stadium said it was one of the most modern buildings and used a 40% water level compared to the water they would use when built in the form of conventional cement. The 974 Stadium hosted the first international game on November 30, 2021, when the Arab League met Syria in the Arab Cup.

It is expected that it will be demolished after the World Cup Games and some of its components will be transported to the Maldonado Stadium in Uruguay if the country will be allowed to host the 2030 World Cup.
