FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022: What legacy will it leave for Qatar?

euronews.com

One of the most significant legacies of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be the extensive infrastructure development that the country has undergone in preparation for the tournament and keeping in line with the 2030 national vision.

As part of this project, seven new state-of-the-art stadiums were built. The venues were designed to host World Cup matches and serve as sports and entertainment centres for the local community long after the tournament.

The mighty Khalifa International was built before the bid was awarded and was completely renovated, bringing the stadium count up to eight."They're not just stadiums; they're works of art," explained former Liverpool footballer and BeIn commentator Jason McAteer, "I've been lucky enough to visit them through the years and see how they've gone up.

Everything was put in place logistically, ready to accommodate a lot of people doing a lot of different things."Earlier this year, Qatar was chosen to host the 2023 Asian Cup, which will be delayed until 2024.
