PHOTO: Qatar World Cup Organizers Criticized for Making 'Vagina' Stadium
Qatar stadium design critics: "It looks like a vagina."
AECOM Technology Corporation posted a short video animation of the design for Qatar’s new Al Wakrah sports stadium Saturday, which under almost immediate criticism for its resemblance to female genitalia.
The $120 billion project bears little resemblance to an ancient dhow boat “that Qataris traditionally used for pearl diving.”
Qatar is building the 45,000-capacity stadium to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The climate-controlled stadium will be about 12 miles south of Doha, in "one of the oldest inhabited areas in Qatar, with a rich cultural heritage evidenced by its traditional Islamic architecture, historical buildings, distinctive mosques and archaeological sites," according to AECOM.
