Qatar has built a stadium that will be lost after hosting the World Cup. This stadium is removable.

The plan has a removable stadium, named the 974 Stadium. The first match here will be played between Poland and Mexico on November 22. Apart from this, 974 shipping containers have been used to build the stadium. Each container is painted differently, so that it looks attractive.
