Ras Abu Aboud is one of the venues that will host the World Cup in 2022 in Dubai. It will also be the first-ever venue that can be taken down and reassembled.
The 40,000-seat stadium will be built on Doha's southern waterfront and will host matches up to the quarter-final stage. After the tournament, the stadium will be disassembled, gently, with each piece carefully placed into containers to be reassembled and used in another location.
"This venue will be unique in that it will be capable of being reassembled in a new location in its entirety," said Javier Iribarren, founder of the a Madrid-based company, Fenwick Iribarren, the firm designing the venue and another tournament venue, the Qatar Foundation Stadium.
“The building will be made up of modified shipping containers,” said Iribarren. “This will make the process of putting it up and taking it down simple and easy.”
The firm got the idea of constructing a reusable stadium after one of the architects watched his child play with a Lego set.
