What Happens to Stadiums after the World Cup? 

Did you watch the 2022 World Cup in Qatar? ⚽ And why (or why not)? 👇

This is why the World Cup in 2026 in North America makes perfect sense. In Mexico, they use the stadiums for their own soccer teams. In America, we have football and soccer and concerts and other events at the stadiums. And in Canada, they have the exact same thing. There won’t be any of this tearing down a stadium that’s been used for a month.

That's why the world cup should be hosted by countries that have successful domestic leagues. Germany didn't have this problem because all their stadiums were used by local clubs that could fill the stadiums. Brazil could've avoided this problem because they have a big enough domestic league but they wanted to build new stadiums anyways

The 220 billion was spent on the massive national development project that was not directly related to the world cup. The world cup was a way to put a deadline on that project and push it to the finish line. Stadium spending was a very small fraction. For instance, the metro system is included in this, and I've been using it since 2019. It took hundreds of thousands of cars off the road and is a great way to get around the city without driving. That wasn't built just for the world cup. Similarly, Lusail city has been hosting government and commercial offices and has attracted people to its residential area for years now. It's not a city built for the world cup. Qatar made a huge mistake in advertising the $220B as much as it did, but as it turns out it's $220B over 12 years. That's about $18B/year for roads, utilities, public transport, administrative and IT developments, hospitals, an airport, a new sea port area, and much more.

What people don't understand is the 220Bn was not only spent on the stadiums.

These stadia are such works of Art and architectural marvels. The plan to turn these stadia into city centres are the best way forward. It's like they're retaining monuments for their World Cup (Hosting) success for the future generations that will continue to inspire.

Cape Town stadium is NOT being torn down. - The local rugby team the W.P Stormers which has the largest supporters in the region fills d stadium plays there. -it hosts the National rugby team the Springboks. -it hosts 7s Rugby. - Concerning football CTC plays there. - And also events and gatherings.

I always find it weird how countries build stadiums for only one event like FIFA or the Olympics. Here in Sydney, we still have all of our infrastructure from the 2000 Olympic Games only with the exception of a bit of extra seating for Stadium Australia (or whatever it's called now) and the Olympic Park isn't a dead area either with new development going in around it.

Trust me the 200b wasn’t spent on the stadiums💀, I’ve lived in Qatar since 2013 and since they hosted the World Cup and they haven’t stopped construction sites from evading streets and cities. They legit started getting ready for the World Cup 10 years before it. They even added it in history books in schools, I was suffering. But tbh they really improved once the World Cup has finished

Loved the final yesterday.. It's been amazing.. and incredible stadium 🤩

I totally forgot that Brazil got a world cup and the Olympics back to back in the mid 2010's, seriously, what were they thinking?! But I'm really surprised by the smart solutions that Qatar had for it's venues you can easily transform the stadiums into shopping malls and turn the pitch into an indoors park, it is quite the smart solution.

Green Point Stadium in Cape Town South Africa, it can be saved by Rugby like Ellis Park Stadium.. Most of our 2010 World Cup stadiums are doing better coz we have different sports codes doing well.

At least Al janoub stadium will not be demolished as it was one of my favourite stadiums when I used to live there. Live an amazing 15 beautiful years in the beautiful city of al wakrah :)

I think that Qatar has set a budget of 6 billion for stadiums, and the rest for infrastructure, metro, buildings, and so on

Ty for this amazing video top luxury!

been binging this channel since my finals week. keep it up!

Here after the 2022 World Cup Finals Great video!

The shipping container idea is brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great video

The construction of mobile stadiums is a good idea going by the problems you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Italy is a classic example. All the stadiums used in the 1990 WC were built decades ago. They don't have to build any new stadiums.

700k subs!! Huge congrats for this achievement!!! 🤩

Love the mobile stadium idea and moving them around, also full repurposing BRAVO QATAR despite the western negativity SAFE FAMILY FRIENDLY Culurally breaking down so many stereotypes And accessibilty for all plus up to 3 games in a dayWOW

Post Fifa Cup 2022 planning for Stadiums in Qarar seems good on papers. How these be implemented feasibly is subject of future. Their ideas are good for future sport activities. Now , financial viability may also be explored first before any such actions , as stated for furtherance of the proposed Sport Events /Projects.

This is one of my favourite RU-vid channels, Thanks for the great work.

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

I like the idea of mobile stadiums as they mostly have temp structures for seating and the large activity is the flat land football pitch.

Your the first "Luxury" Channel I see that actually has a critical view on a lot of these projects. I like that Big up 👍🏻

Temporary stadiums are clever, build it when you need it, disassemble it when the game is done

great video, i think these movable stadiums are a good idea

Very well done video excellent footages

This is where the North American (USA/Canada/Mexico) bid is likely going to be a lot less expensive. Every venue is already an existing stadium that will only need minor upgrades to be FIFA certified for World Cup matches.

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

The strength of generosity! Keep up z good job.

Great topic . 😊

Qatar stadiums are pieces of art, they can preserve them as an art work. it really makes sense to turn them into cafeins shopping malls.

Reuseable Stadiums is the key. So the next host can rent out a stadium. Best example would be a container Stadium, just like the one in Qatar. Sustainable and cost friendly.

I m watching ur video 1st time but subscription u Great explanation

I am one of yours respective subscriber & I love your documentaries precisely.

Thanks for sharing

Am happy that my country won the world cup🏆⚽

When you look at it from a 5-10 year perspective, Qatar is looking at it from a 20-50 year perspective. Only time will tell whether the infrastructure was a failure or a success. But as far as the WC is concerned, they did a good job in preparing and hosting it. I believe they have forever changed how countries planning on hosting events in the future will prepare for them.

Really nice video. Thanks for the info. Hopefully the recyclable stadiums becomes a thing of the future. One small issue I had with the video. I don’t know why you only mentioned the citizen population of Qatar (which was mentioned as 400k), the population of Qatar is 2.91 million people. I know your point still stands about filling the stadiums, but it’s just a tiny bit of misinformation.

So i live in qatar so this is interesting to see thanks for the video >3

making a stadium multi purpose is genius. like using it for concerts and stuff

Great Video!

Great video

I Liked. Greetings from Francine.

Easily one of my favourite channels, thanks for the great content.

Very good video. Cheers from Switzerland.

Really awesome video and always love to watch with use full informations what do you like most catching here?

I think my jaw has reaches the centre of the Earth after hearing all these.

Qatar done great job i think.. More stadiums spreaded and connected with metro... Such a small country spend jaw dropping 20+ Billions $ for a month event. And Good feedback from those who visited for match. Qatar made history. Argentina got the title. Love you 🇫🇷🇵🇹🇦🇷

Cape Town Stadium is currently being used by the DHL Western Province / DHL Stormers Rugby teams as well as the local football team AJAX Cape Town and are more than 60% full almost every weekend during the rugby season... There is also a host of other sporting and musical events that take place yearly

A great example for the Caribbean cricket 🏏 World Cup each country host a match and still b using the stadium for every thing.

Qatar qorld cuo was the bestest world cup literally so beautiful a perfection even all the matches too i alr miss wc so much those good days

Yes, 4 or 5 of Brazilian stadiums are not doing well or cost too much. But most are thriving. The last one you showed is Beira-Rio, home of Sport Club Internacional, a successful team that plays for the main league. That one didn't cost as much to renovate and it also had matches from the 1950 World Cup.

Qatar have given us probably the most entertaining and organised World Cup ever. Shows their true capability.

Congratulation for 700k subscribers

Well done Qatar, you showed the world how to get it done.... Tank you for being amazing host.

I believe yes the temporary stadium is a good idea for saving costs. The other stadiums could be used fir other events and also for Expositions restaurants bazaars or even car parking etc

Qatar 🇶🇦 will also host the 2023 Afc Asian Cup which could held in late 2023 or early 2024 due to the weather

I heard they will going to give away to some country since they are accessible for take a part and assembling again where ever they needed.

Looking forward for Lusail and Al Bayyat Stadiums transformation... Mine! Superb..

Wow! Thats awesome ideas. Less spend and saving money...and a good deeds too.

I have never thought about World Cup economics like this. Thanks for this information. A portable stadium is a cool innovation. I believe in being efficient with resources. The part of 6000 people dying during the process is such a shame.

Fifa should work with contractors to provide temporary stadiums to countries that need them to host the world cup. Also in general just let countries with successful domestic leagues host the world cup instead of random non footballing countries. Hell even just letting a modern country like the US is a good idea since they already have existing infrastructure. All thats needed is to convert the stadiums to meet the needs of FIFA world cup. Modern countries also have hotels and relevant accomodations for the huge influx of tourists and will also see the stadiums be used just as they were before the world cup.

I started watching when you had around 25k subs and now wow

Love ur vids

The rich stays rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stays poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich

Among my favorite RU-vid channels...good work

Make a video about the Triumph Tower, probably the greattest residencial building in the world

A Cargo shipping container idea is brilliance n cost effective just like assemble n dismantle Lego joint 🔆with add of safety n quality to its

Congrats Argentina and France! Huge credits to Qatar , not a lot of people care including the media but this is the first ever carbon-neutral World Cup.

It's surreal what Qatar is doing right now. But it's important to understand this in order to have a say, and that's exactly what you did.

Didn't knew such things were happening around the world. Just got up in watching dramas n streaming songs.. This vid is an eye-opening for negligent people like me..

I like how you say Durban stadium 😅. I'm not say anything. Thanks again for video 🇿🇦

i'm part of tthe 3.2% of viewers 😎 (yeah i'm proud xd)

That's a very brilliant idea instead of building, dismantling and rebuilding stadiums for such big events done every 4 years.

Exactly 3 people died with the Qatar world cup preparation program, great video, thanks.

My favorite channel!!😍

Truth is i never followed football until qatar hosted it,it has such a eurocentric vibe,but this time i loved it,love to qatar and morocco

i’m brazilian i didn’t any ideia this shit was happening in manaus and brasilia 😮 i live in fortaleza and i often go to the games of the domestic league and the games are always full in castelão stadium that also hosted the world cup so maybe i thought the same happened in other states

Really good content that's All i have to say

Excellent

Qatar has their mind in the right place when it comes to attempting to handle these substantial stadiums. However when it comes to actually setting everything into motion, that is what I will want to see later on in the future. I personally have been a large fan of the ideas that people in the Middle East come up with when it comes to an architectural structure’s sustainability, their takes on Arcology, and overall design and appearance, however futures for many of these projects people have in mind are a lot more bleaker than they think and they just don’t k ow yet until the problems essentially seem to outweigh the possibilities. Some examples include projects like “The World,” The Jeddah Tower in Dubai, and especially “THE LINE.” They all seem amazing they do a really good job at describing things. However actual development just seems so much of an unclear path to everyone. How Qatar is willing to take advantage of these stadiums is up to them and at least they have their minds in the right place and are willing to multipurpose the hell out of these venues. These problems may not show up for the upcoming 2026 FIFA WC here in the entirety of North America though because a majority of the money spend in the USA will mostly be adding shopping centers, revamping a few stadiums, adding seats, and changing the field layout from US football, to International Football. The entire concept of Stadium 974 is amazing. It is basically a portable stadium to dumb it down the most. I would absolutely love to see a stadium like 974 show up in all future World Cups including the United NA2026 and also the Uruguay 2030. It seems like it is the easiest to build and take down out of any other stadium I have seen so far.

Unfortunately, in Brazil, many of the stadiums remain underused and are incurring high costs…

It's nice to have it in different countries, for a different vibe. But imo they need to pick one permanent host country or countries and stick to them, just keep the stadiums updated and in use by clubs who can fill them.

Good vid, the music is just a little out place lol

Most beautiful stadiums ever😍

You're view count changes so drastically per video it's funny.

best designs for such costly structures. mobile or temporary structures designs must be continuously useful in the medium to long term in such manner that their economic potentials are utilized fully.

New subscriber!

Since there's only 8 billion people on earth, I seriously, seriously doubt that 5 billion people watch the world cup in 2022

i love how that "JULIAN ALVAREZ" just sinks into the background at the start can someone make a full song of that

Maybe it´s time for next VM to be picked where three/four countries do it together? building or fixing 2-3 stadiums each?

LOL first time I've heard someone pronounce Durban like that

This is undoubtedly the best world cup ever. Qatar was successful in hosting the Fifa World Cup 2022. No one should believe on these false accusations. Vamos Argentina❤ well played. Messi finally got what he deserved😭 best wishes for the future.

Yes it's a very good idea to build portable stadiums that can be used in one country to the other country. It is a sensible investment and a viable solution to eliminate the waste.

In my fictional world, all this stadium is still useful after the Cup

Brasil doesn't see any world cup legacy except for their financial loss? Uuuhhhh having more cups than any other nation in the world is a pretty great legacy.
