Al Janoub Stadium was the first stadium in Zaha Hadid’s portfolio. Its roof is designed in homage to Al Wakrah’s fishing and pearl diving history, and the wind-filled sails of the traditional dhow boats. The building itself resembles upturned hulls, arranged in a huddle to provide shade and shelter. Like Al Bayt Stadium, Al Janoub Stadium has a retractable roof to support the interior cooling system.
All of our stadiums won praise for their striking architecture, sustainable design and innovative construction. They boast retractable roofs and impressive cooling technologies and make for an electric atmosphere for fans from far and wide.
