Al-Janoub Stadium

Formerly Al-Wakrah Stadium, Al-Janoub Stadium was built from 2014-2019 in in Al-Wakrah, Quatar. The stadium was commissioned for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The massive stadium’s roof nearly resembles a tent fabric pulled over the stadium and held open to let in the sunlight. With the stadium, she did not have as much freedom to play with shapes as she had with her previous designs, but her style shines through in the graceful white roof. Zaha Hadid died suddenly at age 65 from a heart attack in 2016, and her unfinished projects were taken up by her business partner, Patrik Schumacher.
