Designed as a temporary stadium for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, Stadium 974 stands out with its innovative modular design.
Created by Spain's Fenwick Iribarren Architects in collaboration with Schlaich Bergermann Partner and Hilson Moran, this stadium utilised repurposed shipping containers and recycled steel, resulting in cost-effective construction and reduced waste.
Each container was adapted to accommodate various stadium elements, including seats, concessions, and restrooms, making it a versatile and sustainable sporting venue.

Stadium 974 made history as the inaugural temporary venue in FIFA World Cup's long legacy
During its brief existence, Stadium 974 was the stage for plenty of thrilling football matches. It kicked off with the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021™, hosting six matches in the tournament.
It later hosted seven exciting games during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, including memorable matchups like the second-round match between Brazil and South Korea.
See how the stadium was constructed using smart water-efficient systems, significantly reducing environmental impact.
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ left a lasting legacy with significant investments in infrastructure, transportation, tourism, and the sports industry. Seven new stadiums (and one renovation) were constructed, using 40% less water and being 30% more energy-efficient than international standards.
To benefit other nations, surplus seats will be donated, and the facilities will find new life with hospitals, schools, places of worship, and hotels. Most of the dismantled materials from Stadium 974 are set to be reused in Africa and South America
