Each of the 8 stadiums at the World Cup, in Qatar, will have large arrays of gigantic air conditioners to pump in the cool air courtesy of grills in the stands and nozzles on the pitch.
All of Qatarโs eight World Cup stadiums have fully-functional air conditioning for the showpiece.
For the first time ever, the World Cup will take place in the winter because of the red hot climate in the Middle Eastern country.
In June and July, the typical period for the tournament, average temperatures in Qatar are an insane 42 degrees celsius โ hence the festival of football being moved to November and December.
But even then temperatures are 24 degrees celsius and so Qatar has had to introduce measures to further cool their stadia for players and fans.
They have installed air-conditioning in every stadium, pumping in the cool air courtesy of grills in the stands and nozzles on the pitch.
The cooling technology, which involves the use of solar energy, was developed with the assistance of Qatar University.
But it was Dr Saud Abdulaziz Abdul Ghani, Professor at the College of Engineering at the university and aptly nicknamed โDr Coolโ, who led the whole thing.
โWe are not just cooling the air, weโre cleaning it,โ he explained in an interview withย FIFA.com.
โWeโre purifying the air for spectators. For example, people who have allergies wonโt have problems inside our stadiums as we have the cleanest and purest air in there is.
โPre-cooled air comes in through grills built into the stands and large nozzles alongside the pitch. Using the air circulation technique, cooled air is then drawn back, re-cooled, filtered and pushed out where it is needed.
โThe most important thing to cool effectively is that you donโt want the outside wind to enter the stadium. Thatโs why the size and design of the stadium have to be studied and altered accordingly so that they block warm air from entering the stadium.โ
The draw for the tournament was made on Friday, withย Senegal playing the Netherlands at Al Thumama Stadiumย on November 21 in the curtain-raiser.
England is also in action on an opening day for the first time since 1966, taking on Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium.
