Sports infrastructure projects related to the 2022 World Cup are progressing according to schedule and will be completed by 2020, Hassan al-Thawadi, secretary general of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), said on Monday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Tarsheed 22 competition for energy efficiency, al-Thawadi said Khalifa International Stadium will be the first venues to complete construction work, with other venues to be ready between 2018 and 2020.
Al-Thawadi said the SC has so far announced the start of the design process for five venues, while two further venues had contracts awarded to the main contractor.
The SC secretary general said work has already begun in five to six current venues, adding that the remaining ones will be announced soon. (QNA)
