Qatar World Cup organisers award main contract for Lusail stadium

Gulf Business 29 November 2016 Qatar Middle East

Qatar’s 2022 World Cup organisers have awarded the main contract for the 80,000-seater Lusail stadium, which will host the opening and final matches of the football tournament.

A joint venture between Qatari contractor HBK Contracting (HBK) and China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC) has won the contract.

Site construction on the venue, located in Lusail City – 20km north of Doha, began in 2014, with TIME Qatar as the project manager.

Early works and site office construction projects were completed by Galfar Al Misnad, with levelling and grading works and site and access roads finished by local contractor Marbu Contracting.

British architectural firm Foster + Partners completed the schematic design of the stadium earlier this year.

By the end of 2016, the main-works contractor will be mobilised on site.

The venue is scheduled for completion by 2020.
