One of the major benefits that come with Qatar hosting the World football tournament is the close proximity of the stadiums, enabling fans to attend more than one game a day.
A total of eight stadiums will host the games with each being equipped with solar-powered cooling technology due to the high temperatures witnessed in the country.

The stadiums have also been built with modular elements that will be reconfigured after the tournament.
One of the main stadiums that will be used for the tournament is the Lusail Stadium which has a capacity of 80,000 seats.
The design of the stadium is inspired by the interplay of light and shadow that characterises the fanar lantern with its shape and exterior bringing out the intricate decorative motifs on bowls, vessels and other art pieces found across the Arab regions during the rise of civilization in the region.
It's expected that once the tournament is over, Lusail Stadium will be transformed into a community space that will include schools, shops, cafés, sporting facilities and health clinics.
The conversion of the stadium will see most of the 80,000 seats in the stadium being removed and donated to sports projects all over the world with the remaining from the upper-tier set to be integrated into outdoor terraces for new homes.
Another feature inside the stadium is the use of recycled water to irrigate plants around the stadium.
Other stadiums that will be host to the 2022 World Cup include Al Bayt Stadium, Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Al Janoub Stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, Qatar Foundation Stadium and Ras Abu Aboud Stadium.
