Dr. Fodil Fadli Committee Member Professor Attilio Petruccioli Committee Member Approved: ______________________________________________________ Dr. Khalifa Alkhalifa, Dean, College of Engineering II ABSTRACT Mega Sporting Events have become a way of transforming cities around the world. However, the sustainability of these large-scale transformations is questioned. This thesis aims to investigate the adaptability of stadium precincts post-Qatar 2022 World Cup based on selected case studies from Al Rayyan municipality. The challenges of using large facilities such as iconic stadiums are worth investigating. The thesis aims to find answers to the following questions: To what extent is Qatar 2022 World Cup stadiums is adaptive to its precincts? What impacts the adaptability of Qatar 2022 World Cup stadiums? And How an adaptive strategy through public-private partnership can take place for Post 2022 World Cup? A selection of case studies from Qatar includes Khalifa International Stadium, Qatar Foundation and Al Rayyan Stadiums are examined to answer the research questions. The thesis is based on qualitative case study research with three data collection and analysis tools. The tools used are site assessment (observations), expert interviews, and secondary data that include feedback from Al Rayyan residents toward Al Rayyan stadiums and precincts.

We fought back and scored the second after missing more than five chances’ By Sports Reporter Doha aghdad Bounedjah was a livewire on Wednes- day night as the Al Sadd forward caused havoc in BHienghene Sport’s back line. The Algerian put in a Man-of-the- Match performance and scored the opening goal as the hosts beat the New Caledonian team 3-1 in their opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar at the Jas- sim Bin Hamad Stadium. Bounedjah fi red his side ahead in the 25th minute when he tucked home a cross from Ab- delkarim Hassan, and should have had more on the night. Hienghene made it diffi cult for Sadd after Amy Roine struck af- ter half time to draw level. But Hassan’s powerfully con- verted indirect free-kick set them on the way to victory in extra time, with Pedro Miguel adding an insurance goal with six minutes remaining. Bounedjah said the victory was hard-fought but added his team had no doubt they would win the encounter. “We could’ve scored three in the fi rst half and then it would’ve been a diff erent story, but luck wasn’t on our side.

  • Asian Football Magazine, a New Project That Will Focus on Different Regions of Asia, Exploring Football, Economic and Social Issues Linked to Our Favorite Sport
    1 It is with great pleasure that we present to our readers the first issue of All Asian Football Magazine, a new project that will focus on different regions of Asia, exploring football, economic and social issues linked to our favorite sport. In this first release we decided to focus our attention on the Arabian Peninsula, exploring the political diatribe that has been going on since 2017, when Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies decided to end diplomatic relations with Qatar. Doha has been accused of supporting terrorism, as it is closer, politically speaking, to Shiite Iran, the great enemy of Riyadh. For over a decade, the Arab states, through the richest sovereign wealth funds, have started investing in football by changing the balance of power on a global level, in a way that Russia and China have not yet managed to accomplish. The Emirs' Manchester City and Qatar's Paris Saint Germain have overturned the European transfer market by raising the bar more and more every year, up to the over 200 million euros that the Parisians spent to snatch Neymar from Barcelona. These aggressive maneuvers have led to a surge in the price of the players transfer prize, but for the two 'Arab clubs' there are consequences to pay: Manchester City was banned by UEFA to partecipate to European Cups for the next two years having violeted the Financial Fair Play, and Paris Saint Germain could be the next club to be banned. The biggest controversy in world football was the assignment of the World Cup in Qatar, an unexpected event that put the small Gulf state at the center of global attention.
