Following the countdown to the official 2010 World Cup kick off in South Africa, Swide has decided to jump into the future and to land in 2022, the year when the State of Qatar hopes to host the FIFA World Cup. The Middle Eastern country will base its pitch on extremely advanced and eco-friendly technology.
In twelve years time, the State of Qatar could be the first Arab country to host a football World Cup thanks to its incredibly avant-garde stadiums built with no budget constraint and showcasing the latest in terms of technology.
While this time around it will be all about the 3D TV broadcasting games thanks to an agreement signed between the FIFA, Sony and the Sky UK network (www.tecnocino.it/articolo/mondiali-2010-calcio-in-3d-ecco-le-partite-di-sony-fifa), Albert Speer & Partner GmbH are working on a few Qatari projects focused on eco-friendly futuristic installations with an aesthetic touch.
Unveiled recently at the "Sport Accord" conference held in Dubai, stadiums in Qatar will be almost completely covered by solar panels meaning that they will be almost energy self-sufficient. The referred stadiums are the Al Rayyan Stadium 20km northwest of Doha, the Al Gharafa Stadium in the capital, the Shamal Stadium in the north, the Al Wakrah Stadium (to become a sport center) and the Al Khor Stadium (with capacity for 45,330 spectators).
The temperature inside the stadiums will be controlled and should not exceed 28°. The outside walls will be clad with LED screens showing huge live images of the games played inside the stadium.
This is just a small taste of what should be on offer on the Qatari technological menu, let's wait and see what the FIFA final decision will be in December this year.
