[2] Officially opened on 30 November 2021, Stadium 974 was the first planned temporary venue in FIFA World Cup history.

The legacy plans involved dismantling the stadium and moving it to Africa or South America, and the former site to be transformed with a waterfront development.

[4] Created by Spain's Fenwick Iribarren Architects in collaboration with Schlaich Bergermann Partner and Hilson Moran, this stadium utilised repurposed shipping containers and recycled steel, resulting in cost-effective construction and reduced waste.

[10][11] Fenwick Iribarren Architects said "the idea was to avoid building a "white elephant", a stadium that is left unused or underused after the tournament ends, as happened following previous World Cups.

It was initially committed to go to Maldonado, Uruguay, where it would be used for the 2030 FIFA World Cup with the vacated land used by the stadium being turned into a waterfront development.
