2022 World Cup: Latest Images Of Stadiums Springing Up Across The Qatari Deserts

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is, on the whole, unfathomable. The mind boggles at an expenditure of $200 billion, while a current reported death toll of over 1,400 migrants is like combining the casualties of the Falklands War and 2011 Egyptian revolution. All this to kick that ball around.

It feels almost shameful, like a morbid fascination, to look at the byproduct of it, but in the Qatari sands these pharaonic stadiums are rising. In fact, an entire city — Lusail and its showpiece 86,000-seat venue — is being built from scratch, a sort of Lovecraftian horror where the Lusail Iconic Stadium lies, a visceral nightmare corpse-city with sprinklers feeding a small patch of grass that gives way to arid wilds that fade into reddish yellow perpetuity.

Here are the latest images of the eight venues. Two of them (Al Janoub Stadium and Khalifa International Stadium) have been completed.
