Coastal Qatar to supply seats for Qatar World Cup stadiums

Coastal Qatar has been awarded a contract to supply and install 140,000 seats for three of the venues for the 2022 Fifa World Cup.

The seats will be manufactured in a Doha-based factory that will produce 500 seats a day for Al Wakrah Stadium, Al Rayyan Stadium and Al Bayt Stadium. The first two stadiums will have 40,000 seats each while the third will have 60,000.

Hassan Al Thawadi, secretary general of Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) which awarded the deal, said: “Creating an impact on Qatar’s economy was a key component in our bid to win the Fifa World Cup hosting rights.

“By facilitating local contractors and companies to take part in the construction of the infrastructure for the tournament, we are delivering one of our key legacy commitments and ensuring the benefits of the 2022 Fifa World Cup are felt across the country.”
