The facade of the stadium is composed of triangles that reflect the light as the sun moves across the sky, representing a diamond in the desert. Fenwick Iribarren Architects based the design on the notions of quality, durability, and resilience in hopes that the venue will be treasured for years to come.

In line with the 2022 Qatar World Cup’s focus on sustainability and developing a better future, the stadium was built with environmentally aware practises in mind to help reduce its carbon footprint. Some of those practises include using sustainable and recycled building materials, a real-time water and energy control and monitoring system, and the use of drought-tolerant and native species in the landscaping of the area.

During the 2022 World Cup, football fans will be able to enjoy green spaces and state-of-the-art amenities surrounding the venue, including football training pitches, a golf course and shops.
