Qatar insists the country’s blistering heat will not be a factor if it wins the right to host the 2022 World Cup. To make its case, the country’s organizers unveiled a $4 billion plan Wednesday to build nine stadiums and renovate three others—all with a high-tech cooling system which they said will keep temperatures on the pitch at 80.6 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius.) The solar powered system will pump cool air into the stadium through grills in the stands and be combined with roofs designed to protect fans and players from the sun.
Even with temperatures outside reaching 122 F (50 C) during the World Cup, officials said all the stadiums will be comfortable.
