Air quality monitoring stations installed at Qatar 2022 training site

Doha: The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, has begun installing air quality monitoring stations at FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament venues.

The first stations have been installed in the precinct of the Qatar University training site and form part of a project to improve air quality, in line with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Sustainability Strategy. Monitoring stations will also be installed at the Al Janoub Stadium precinct in the near future. Jassim Al Jaidah, the SC’s Local Stakeholders Relations Manager for Sustainability, said: “These stations will monitor and measure air quality according to the weather, along with the percentage of gases and other particles in the air. The data provided will help the SC make informed decisions in relation to improving air quality inside Qatar 2022 tournament venues, in line with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Sustainability Strategy.”
