The design of the Temporary stadium is arranged in such a way that natural air circulates in the This stadium. Which means that the arena does not need an air conditioning system. This has also helped in reducing energy costs. Seven World Cup 2022 matches will-be played in this stadium. Qatari officials say the entire project pays tribute to the maritime traditions & history of the nearby port & Doha.
