摘要：	The eight soccer stadiums that hosted the 2022 World Cup in Qatar are inspiring feats of civil engineering. With one designed like a traditional Middle Eastern hat, another shaped as a Bedouin tent, and one made of nearly a thousand shipping containers, the stadiums were certainly one of the highlights of the quadrennial tournament. Qatar is a peninsular Arab nation with a population of around 2.65 million. Because summer temperatures in Qatar can reach more than 50 C (with surfaces exposed to direct sunlight reaching temperatures above 85 C), this was the first World Cup in the northern hemisphere held in the late fall - beginning Nov. 20 and ending Dec. 18. The Qatari government established the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy to deliver and manage the eight stadiums as well as the overall tournament. Although previous World Cup tournaments took place across multiple host cities that might be hundreds, or even thousands, of kilometers apart, all 64 matches were held in one compact area for the first time in history. All eight stadiums are within a roughly 34 km radius in central Doha, Qatar's capital, and the venues are linked by the country's existing metro system or can be reached by roughly an hour's drive. This proximity meant fans could stay in one accommodation for the entire tournament and even attend two matches on the same day at different venues.
