(ECNS) — Lusail Stadium, jointly built by China Railway Construction Corporation, was unveiled during the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

This is the first time a Chinese company has built a venue for the World Cup. The stadium is also the largest and most advanced professional football stadium built by Chinese companies.

As the name card of Qatar, the Lusail Stadium is on the country’s new 10-riyal banknote.

Covering 195,000 square kilometers, the Lusail Stadium holds 80,000 people. Its design was inspired by the hand-crafted vessels found throughout the Arab and Islamic worlds during the rise of civilization, said Liu Dawei, project leader from the China Railway Construction Corporation.

The Lusail stadium will host the semi-finals, finals and finals of the World Cup.

In November 2016, HBK Contracting from Qatar and China Railway Construction Corporation won the bid to jointly build the main venue for this year’s World Cup.

It took 2,118 days to build the stadium.

Former Oman goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi, who won the FA Cup with Wigan Athletic in 2013, said the Lusail Super Cup is a welcoming venue for the entire Arab region.

“Lusail Stadium is a world-class facility that will capture the imagination of fans around the world. Built to the highest standards, it is a source of pride for the people of Qatar, the Middle East and the Arab world. .”

Apart from the Lusail stadium, other Chinese-made products from buses to wind turbines will perform at the event.
