According to a Kenyan worker at the Lusail Stadium site, “I worked fourteen hours a day with a thirty-minute lunch break. The data is not directly presenting workers’ death in World Cup construction sites but currently, nearly all of Qatar’s infrastructure development has a connection to the World Cup. The structure’s outer compression rings are connected to the central tension ring by a complex system of cable nets, a method that enables wide roofs without the need for supporting columns. As the largest stadium in the region, it will be able to host the most spectacular international events. The façade features triangular openings that visually emphasize the structure of the bowl through a diagonal grid, forming a perforated screen that provides shade and filtered dappled light to the inner hall. Designed by Foster + Partners, Lusail Stadium will host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Final on 18 December 2022.
