So the 22nd FIFA World Cup, which has become the best, is nearing completion for the entire history of FIFA. The final match between Argentina and France at the Lusail Iconik stadium will take place tomorrow. Many people know that the fight for the World Cup unfolded for the first time in the Arab world, and even in the autumn-winter season. However, in addition to these facts, there are several other interesting details that may surprise both football fans and those who are far from this popular game.
Firstly, the Lusail National Stadium was erected by the Chinese corporation CRCC. The miracle of architecture, striking with its golden luster, is spread over an area of 190,000 m2.
The stadium, which has become the largest in Qatar, has 92,000 seats for fans.
In commemoration of the memorable date, "Lusail Aikonik" got on a Qatari banknote with a value of 10 riyals.
Another interesting fact is that more than 1,500 Qatar buses, serving as transport for officials, fans and guests of the country, are manufactured by Yutong, a leading Chinese company in this industry.
888 units of this number are electric buses, which make up a quarter of all buses in the country.
In addition, 6 "villages" for fans were built in Qatar to solve the issue of settling fans. Here, too, it was not without the Celestial Empire - Chinese companies have placed more than 10,000 container houses.
For example, such apartments for two will cost tourists $ 200, which is much cheaper than many hotels.
A gigantic solar power plant with a capacity of 800 MW, providing FM with electricity, was built by the Chinese energy corporation PCCC. Thanks to this vast field of solar panels, the 2022 World Cup has gone down in history as the most environmentally friendly World Cup.
Manufacturers from Yiwu City County of Zhejiang Province took provided the largest part of the Championship's attributes. From footballs, national flags and trophy symbols to horns and whistles, the share of the Iu is about 70% of the market of souvenirs of the football championship.
Despite the fact that the Chinese national team did not participate in the Games, Chinese elements "shine" at the World Cup competitions.
