The Sport City Project:

The Sport City Project aims to create an international venue of world caliber and a suitable dramatic setting for the 2006 Asian Games in Qatar. It also creates a new feature civic area for Doha as a permanent legacy for all people of Qatar and the region. This large scale development will produce a new feature urban area centered on a range of major sports arenas and facilities. The development will eventually provide a new world-class parkland and civic identity space for Doha that will increase the sporting and recreational amenity of the city.

The development is made of various sections. The highlight of the development is a 50,000 seat Stadium with unique architectural and functional features which is linked via an underground tunnel to a warming field and changing rooms building. Sports Hall is comprised of two shells separated by a 240 meter long main central arches. This Hall reflects state-of-the-art structural and architectural characteristics. In addition, there are several athletic and other signature facilities which are part of the development, such as, the Sports Academy, Aquatic Center, Orthopedic and Norma baric hospital, Mosque, Women Sports Hall, Energy Center and many other facilities. The whole area will be landscaped to reflect a new world-class parkland and civic identity space of Doha culture and identity mixed with the future expectations of the City. This includes; walking paths, cycling routes, horse riding trails, picnic and recreational areas for public, and many other features.
