they're planning on building 8 massive sized stadiums in the same city. What happens after the world cup? this is insane

[stm]

Aside from the obvious stuff, what saddens me the most is that the country had almost infinite money to build amazing sustainable, livable and walkable cities and they are blowing it all on vanity projects and endlessly wide highways that are never going to be enough. There was so much opportunity to learn from other's mistakes and get it right.

[carlrushton]

Hate to see this. Austrailia have all the stadiums and infrastructure in place but instead it's Saudi who need to build 11 new stadiums which will not be sustainable and god know what the cost to the environment. Classic Fifa

[Zyzzyx]

IOC: Wow, its getting expensive to host the Olympics.

FIFA: Hold my beer.

[rupanjan]

Spending all that money and labour on building these ridiculous stadiums for handful of World Cup games seems a bit irresponsible. No wonder Australia dropped out because this is outrageous

[joshwingfield]

What's the human cost of this going to be?

[krzychkrk]

No "Human Rights Violation" Stadium?

[stiano]

The FIFA World Cup being the biggest sports event while FIFA being the most corrupt governing bodies in the world is insane

[steinarne]

One thing is for certain, they will set records in how many will loose their lives in constructing all this.

[thewalrusaurus]

So like... Let's say they actually do build all these (which... Lol). Wtf is a single city in the middle of the Arabian desert going to do with a dozen gigantic outdoor sport arenas once the cup is over?

I struggle to even imagine a more Titanic waste of money

[jdillon]

Misleading title. You can't build a stadium on top of the line if you aren't building the line at all.

[svenhaheim]

Ridiculous giving sporting events to such countries.

[Zyzzyx]

1:23 Road cyclists on a BMX style pump track. yeah, someone there has no clue, but I'm not surprised either.

[Qwepzy]

Using the Countries money to name stadiums after themselves is just weird

[xCoolverine]

I doubt these venues will be completed as rendered

[RealmsOfThePossible]

Anyone can get their macbook out on lunch break and render the most fantastical buildings to stroke the egos of megalomaniacs.

"It also happens to be sitting on the edge of a cliff" nearly made me spit out my tea 😂

[flyingpanhandle]

"when Australia were encouraged to drop their bid"

[joao.spegiorin]

Video idea: Six Flags Qiddiya. It will feature the largest coaster in History (Falcon's Flight), the biggest Tilt coaster in the world, drop tower and frisbee.

It will be directly next to the F1 Riyadh track, and is currently under construction (Falcons Flight is pretty much completed by now)
The amount of architecture and engineering work to build this theme park is just impressive

[GammaAerospace]

"Like any good striker, its got style and panache, and actually lives up to the hype" ... Shows Mbappe 💀💀
