    Amazing Facts about Education City  

    Stadium



    Diamond in the Desert


    Due to it’s form of a jagged diamond, glittering by day and glowing by night, it has Nicknamed the “Diamond in the Desert”. Actally, the facade of the stadium features triangles that form complex, diamond-like geometrical patterns which appear to change colour with the sun’s movement across the sky. Like diamonds, the stadium's design represents quality, durability and resilience – and will become something to be treasured, both for the memories it holds and its future value to the country.


    Its facade is made from a tessellating triangular pattern that takes its form from Arabic architecture and is designed to deflect the country's strong sunlight. The facade can be lit up at night.



    How gets the name Education Stadium

    The Stadium is located to the west of Doha in the Education City university district, which gives the building its name.

    Education City is the home of Qatar Foundation (QF) for Education, Science and Community Development.

    Education City is an education Hub with leading universities, along with research and development institutions. As well as hosting matches during Qatar 2022, it is expected that the stadium will provide sporting facilities for the entire QF community, including faculty and students, with the SC turning parts of the stadium into classrooms and event spaces for QF schools and universities after the tournament.




    First venue to achieve 5star Sustainability  
    Rating

    The stadium has been awarded a 5 star rating for sustainability from the the ‘Global Sustainability Assessment System’ for its design and build. It’s a Qatar 2022 first venue to achieve 5 star Sustainability rating.

    Its range of sustainability features include direct access to public transport, low toxicity indoor materials and LED sports lighting. In addition, 85 per cent of building materials were regionally sourced, while 29 per cent were generated from recycled materials. 

    The stadium, located near Doha Metro, also boasts carbon dioxide sensors for high occupant density spaces to ensure ventilation and indoor air quality, and a water efficient irrigation design to minimise landscape water consumption.







    Unforgettable 40,000- seat capacity


    The stadium’s seating capacity during the tournament will be 40,000. After Qatar 2022, the capacity will be reduced to 20,000 following the removal of the modular upper tier.

    The modular upper tier of seating will be removed to reduce the stadium's capacity to 20,000, and parts of the building will be converted into classrooms and event spaces for use by the universities.

    Following the World Cup the stadium will be converted into a sporting and athletics hub for the surrounding universities and local community.



    Direct Metro access for fans

    Convenient access to the stadium is provided by the Doha Metro. Education City Station – on the Green Line – is located just 500m from the venue.



    Designed by


    It is designed by a London-based Pattern Design to a concept created by Spanish studio Fenwick-Iribarren Architects (Madrid-based Fenwick-Iribarren Architects was established in 1990 by Mark Fenwick and Javier Iribarren. The architecture studio is also designing the Ras Abu Aboud stadium  to host games at the Qatar World Cup)
