During the bidding process for the 2022 World Cup, Qatar promised advanced air-conditioning technology that would cool stadiums, training pitches and fan zones to 23C. A 500-seater prototype stadium, called the Qatar Showcase, designed by the British architect-engineers Arup Associates, was built to demonstrate how the system might work.

Caunton Engineering supplied the steelwork which was used for the roof of this prototype stadium. Qatar were of course successful with their bid and will host the World Cup in 2022.
