After the championship is over, approximately 170,000 seats will be disassembled and will be handed to developing countries to help them develop their sports infrastructure. The World Cup 2022 will be an absolute dream for all the football fans specially those residing in Middle East Region. Khalifa International Stadium One of the most iconic and notable stadiums in the Middle Eastern country, Khalifa International Stadium was built in 1976 in Al Rayyan to host the flagship venue for the 1976 Gulf Cup and has been upgraded several times in the last few years. The redesigned stadium was expanded in 2005 to serve as the centerpiece of the 2006 Asian games which was hosted by Qatar. It has a hosting capacity of approximately 45,000 spectators. The stadium was naturally proposed to be one of the playing venues when Qatar got awarded the 2022 World Cup in 2010. Still, upgrades were needed. The renovation began in 2014 and was completed in the summer of 2017. The stadium was also the first 2022 World Cup stadium to be ready for the event. The stadium is equipped with an innovative cooling technology to help players compete at a comfortable environment. It is also the centerpiece of the Sports Complex Aspire zone.
