Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Lusail Stadium \u2013 the venue for the FIFA World Cup\u2122 final on 18 December \u2013 has achieved a five-star rating under the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), which is administered by the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD).<\/p>\n

The 80,000-capacity venue boasts a number of sustainability features, including a state-of-the-art roof and water efficiency systems. The stadium\u2019s design is inspired by the interplay of light and shadow, based on the \u2018fanar\u2019 lantern, which illustrates the golden age of art and craftsmanship in the Arab and Islamic world.<\/p>\n

Lusail achieved a five-star rating for GSAS Design & Build and a Class A* rating for GSAS Construction Management. Executives from the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy received the certificates during a special event on Monday. The SC delegation included Eng. Ghanim Al Kuwari, Deputy Director General, Technical Services, Eng. Bodour Al Meer, Sustainability Executive Director, and Jassim Al Jaidah, Sustainability Communications Manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition from GORD is an important part of our FIFA World Cup journey,\u201d said Al Kuwari. \u201cSustainability has been central to our plans from the start as we are determined to develop venues that boost local communities here in Qatar long after the tournament. We are very proud to receive these awards and pay tribute to everyone involved in the construction of Lusail Stadium \u2013 an incredible venue that will host the biggest international football match on the planet \u2013 the FIFA World Cup final \u2013 later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Lusail Stadium\u2019s most notable sustainability features is the roof, which is made from PTFE \u2013 a material that protects the stadium from warm wind, keeps out dust and allows in enough light for the pitch to grow while providing shade to reduce the burden on the stadium\u2019s air conditioning.<\/p>\n

Al Jaidah added: \u201cWe thank all our contractors and stakeholders for helping us to achieve this valuable award, which is yet another proud moment in our FIFA World Cup sustainability journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Qatar 2022, Lusail Stadium is set to host a number of civic facilities for the local community. Any seats removed from the venue could be donated to countries that lack sporting infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Eight stadiums will host matches during Qatar 2022, which will take place from 20 November to 18 December. Each venue has achieved a minimum four-star rating under GSAS, which was adopted as a sustainability rating system by FIFA and will ensure all tournament-related infrastructure meets stringent environmental standards.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yousef Alhorr, Founding Chairman, GORD, said: \u201cBy meeting the exacting GSAS standards, Lusail Stadium has set a new precedent in environmental excellence, guided by the SC\u2019s sustainability strategy. We congratulate the SC for advancing climate action by successfully translating green building principles into impactful practices. This is testament to the strong commitment to sustainability \u2013 which has been apparent from before ground was broken at Lusail and other venues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lusail Stadium will host ten matches during Qatar 2022, starting with Argentina versus Saudi Arabia on 22 November, and ending with the final on 18 December, which is also Qatar National Day.<\/p>\n
