Doha: Sustainability is at the heart of preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2022, with Qatar on course to deliver the first carbon-neutral event in tournament history. Here are ten ways Qatar is reducing its carbon footprint in the lead-up to the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world.
1. Compact tournament Qatar 2022 will be the most compact FIFA World Cup™️ in modern history. All eight stadiums are close together, with the longest distance between venues just 75km (Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor to Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah). Fans and players will stay in one accommodation and train at the same location throughout the tournament.
2. No internal flights Fans, players and officials will not need to take any domestic flights once they arrive in Qatar. Thanks to the compact nature of the event, they will never be far from a stadium, training site or tourist attraction. This is in stark contrast to previous tournaments, where fans and players often flew thousands of miles between matches.
