Qatar 2022 World Cup Stadium 'Looks Like a honeypot

The architects said that the design of the Al Wakrah stadium was inspired by the flowing shape of a dhow.

The design of one of the nine new stadiums being built in Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup has reportedly been likened to a honeypot after the plans were unveiled.

The architects said that the design of the Al Wakrah stadium was inspired by the flowing shape of a dhow, a traditional sailing vessel used by pearl divers and fishermen in the region for centuries.

However, Metro.co.uk reports that blogs likened the 40,000 capacity stadium to a honeypot, and a blog writer applauded the design, unintentional or not, saying that the 'bigwigs' behind the design should embrace this so-called faux pas and rebrand it as a deliberate nod towards the increasingly liberal Qatari policies concerning women in sport.

The writer further said that in a world where sport and honeypots very rarely come together with such prominence, and quipped that 45,000 people crammed inside a woman's reproductive system is not a big deal as they have been there before.

The 2022 World Cup has been beset with controversy since being awarded to ultra-conservative Qatar in 2010, the report added.

Qatar stadium design critics: "It looks like a honeypot."

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.
