Prior to the start of Qatar 2022, it became known that the organization of this FIFA World Cup would have a stadium built with containers and then dismantled. This is the famous 974, a sports venue that hosted important matches of the tournament and is now seeking a new destination. Does it arrive in Peru? This is known.
The 974 stadium located in the city of Doha got its peculiar name because it was built with the same number of containers and because this code is the prefix of Qatar. Now, after having had 8 matches of the FIFA World Cup, it has been dismantled and a new destination is expected, which could be in South America.
The main idea the organizers had was to take this venue to the African continent, but in recent hours it was learned that important offers have arrived to take the venue elsewhere in the world. It turns out that Uruguay has inquired about the stadium with the intention of it becoming another venue for the 2030 World Cup.
In fact, the Secretary of Sports of Uruguay, Sebastián Bauzá, spoke to Sport 890 radio and said the following: "I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I have information that the president had direct contacts in Qatar and there are possibilities that these stadiums will be dismantled and come to some place in Uruguay".
It is clear that the Uruguayan government has a stance in taking ownership of the technological container stadium, but it should be clarified that this does not guarantee them being the organizers of the 2030 World Cup. Remember that this application from Uruguay is jointly with Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay.
It was known that Qatar invested the significant sum of 300 million euros in the 974 stadium and it has a capacity for 40,000 spectators. As it is recalled, this venue hosted 8 matches of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The 974 stadium had these matches of the Qatar 2022 World Cup: Mexico vs Poland, Portugal vs Ghana, France vs Denmark, Brazil vs Switzerland, Poland vs Argentina, Serbia vs Switzerland, and Brazil vs South Korea.
