SportLightning Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 This is nuts on this venue to be dismantled after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising. It was pre-planned that way. What else will you do with an 8th stadium in a country of only 2.6 million? Or they could turn into a little town for Afghan refugees . . . at great expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not gonna be easy for the national teams to travel on the way to Qatar as we have 13 nations have already qualified to the FIFA World Cup are: Qatar (Host) Germany Denmark Brazil France Belgium Croatia Spain Serbia England Switzerland Netherlands and Argentina. January next month will see more teams to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup before the 2026 edition in Canada, Mexico and USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman530 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 well one of Italy or Portugal certainly will not be there. That's at least worth the raise of an eyebrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustralianFan Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Another look at one of the stadiums - this one resembling a giant tent with a drive-up ramp like you see at airport terminal departures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comped Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 So besides the one stadium that's a guaranteed tear down, what's happening with the rest? Are we going to see half the QSL get fancy new stadiums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially Qtar said all except the renovated Khalifa Stadium would be fitted with temporary seating that would be removed and donated to countries lacking in football stadia infrastructure, but that was a pipe dream just like holding the WC in the summer with air conditioned stadiums. If nothing else, this tournament puts to bed the often proposed concept of a temporary stadium to solve the athletics stadium issue in the Summer Olympics. It's a proven failed concept.

I suppose if anyone got dibs on them then, as I said, it would probably be the qsl teams, whichever ones have older stadiums or perhaps to make them to share them all... Would be better than them just sitting empty, unless Qatar thinks that they can retrofit some of them for a future Olympic bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportLightning Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 There's right now only 10 months away to the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportLightning Posted Saturday at 08:56 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 08:56 PM Here's the final round of African Qualifiers. It's going to be kind of like a play-off round. Only 5 will make it to Qatar 2022. My Prediction for the African representatives: Cameroon, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria and Senegal. Mali could possibly make their FIFA World Cup debut if they beat Tunisia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
