The world’s biggest covered sports dome has been opened in Doha, Qatar.
The 290,000-sq-m Aspire Academy of Sports Excellence houses under its giant roof a full-sized artificial grass football field and a five-a-side version, a 200-m athletics track, an Olympic-size swimming pool and diving pool, a gymnastics hall, a sports games hall, 13 table-tennis courts, three contact sports mats, eight fencing strips and two squash courts.
The dome would offer a venue for major sporting events such as the Asian Games being held in Doha in December 2006.
