For a lot of people, depending on their country or background, the FIFA World Cup means being of part of something that they identify with, that is part of their culture and create the feeling of belonging.

They can support their team, showing that they belong to one place, and being proud of part of their identity, their place, their country.

Sustainability Strategy for the FIFA World Cup™ | Qatar 2022

Preparing Qatar for the FIFA World Cup 2022™ is a huge task. These massive construction projects are carefully monitored and controlled to minimise the impact on the environment.

We are reusing and recycling waste and water wherever possible; while smart controls prevent excessive usage of resources across our facilities.

Sustainable building

All eight FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ stadiums are winning praise for their sustainable design, construction and everyday management. We've established the best practices to reduce dust at our sites during construction and all stadiums are on track to achieve at least a 4-star certification from the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) - for design build and construction management, and a gold certification for operational procedures.

Khalifa International Stadium achieved 4-star GSAS certification in 2017 and Al Janoub Stadium achieved the same in 2019.

Education City Stadium and Al Bayt Stadium both received 5-star GSAS certifications in 2020.

What's more, our headquarters, Al Bidda Tower, also received GSAS's platinum certification for operations.

You can learn more about our commitment to sustainability by downloading our Working Towards Green Hotels in Qatar report.

Carbon neutral

Our goal is to offset all greenhouse gas emissions, while advancing low-carbon solutions in Qatar and the region. A carbon-neutral tournament is delivered through a four-step process: awareness, measurement, reduction and offsetting. We are progressing rapidly in all areas.

Renewable energy solutions are planned for wherever possible; solar-powered lighting has already been installed at parking lots and precinct perimeters. Solar-powered air quality monitoring is being tested at training sites. The Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD) is researching how cooling systems can be powered by solar panels.

We have also partnered with the Qatar-based Global Carbon Council to deliver some of our carbon offsets from local sources. We will measure our carbon inventory, in collaboration with FIFA, including all the work we've done so far in reducing emissions, such as energy and water-efficient stadiums, using recycled materials and implementing waste management strategies. The final step is to offset whatever inventory remains.

You can find out more about our commitment to reduce emissions by downloading our latest Greenhouse Gas Emission report.

Green spaces

We are creating vast new parks around the stadiums and training sites, which will be irrigated with recycled water. Our Tree Nursery is also producing thousands of trees and we've selected low-water-consumption and regional plants for sustainable landscaping. By early 2020, 500,000m ² of turf, 5,000 trees and 80,000 shrubs had been planted in stadium precincts and public spaces across Qatar.

Thanks to our landscape conservation planning, water consumption at operational stadiums is 40% lower than international requirements

75% of plants are native species and drought tolerant to combat desertification, a growing concern across the region

Typical desert landscapes are mimicked as much as possible, rather than using turf

Irrigation systems for landscape use 100% recycled water

Public transport

To take cars off the road, we've developed our public transport system, including the Doha Metro, new bus routes and tram systems in Lusail and Education City. We're also aiming to shift 25% of public buses to electric buses by 2022 for use during the tournament. This technology will reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.
