Plans
It has plans to have a facade made up the colours of the flags that will have qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, symbolising football and friendship, mutual tolerance, respect and understanding. The existing 25,000 capacity football stadium will be expanded to 44,740 to meet World Cup capacity. The modular design of the second tier will allow for easy disassembly once the games come to a conclusion.
