This was done to combat the problem of high temperatures in the middle-eastern country. While the temperatures touch the soaring 40s in the summer, the mercury stays around the 25-degree Celsius mark in the Winter. Therefore, Qatar has come up with a solution to the problem.

They have installed several air-conditioning units in all the stadiums that will host matches in the World Cup. The technology involves the use of Solar energy and pumps in cool air inside the stadium.
