2022년 카타르월드컵은 수중스튜디오에서 생중계 방송이 진행될 예정이다.


카타르는 2022년 월드컵 중계방송을 수중스튜디오에서 할 것을 검토 중에 있다.


이 수중방송센터는 현재 구상 단계로 미국 리프월드의 CEO인 패트릭 더글라스에 

따르면 추진 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다.


해저의 동굴지역에 수중 스튜디오가 건설되며 월드컵 방송 후 아쿠아리움으로 

활용하게 된다.


공사비는 3천만불로 예상하고 있으며 수중스튜디오에서 방송을 열망하는 방송사들이 

재원조달에 동의할 것으로 '더글라스'는 예상하고 있다.


이 프로젝트는 2개월 후에 최종 결정될 예정이다.

Qatar is considering building an underwater broadcast studio for use during TV coverage for the FIFA World Cup in 2022, a designer working on potential plans for the project has revealed.


“The project we are in the process of designing for is an underwater broadcast centre [and] is quite a real possibility,” Patric Douglas, CEO of Reef Worlds, told CW's sister magazine Arabian Business in a phone interview from its base in Los Angeles.


Douglas said Qatar’s World Cup authorities “like the design” and “they like the notion of doing the World Cup underwater with sharks swimming around.”


The site for the proposed underwater broadcast centre would be a carved out area of rock, which would then be turned into a giant aquarium.


The project is likely to cost around $30 million to build and Douglas said the funding for it would be underwritten by broadcasters eager to use the unusual venue as a broadcast base when the Gulf state hosts the FIFA World Cup in 2022.


“You could underwrite the entire thing with one Sky or Latin broadcast network, they will pay you enough money to finance this thing,” Douglas claimed.


A final decision on whether to green light the project will be made in around two months’ time.


US-based Reef Worlds became active in the Middle East market last year and announced plans to build “sustainable underwater tourism sites” in Dubai, the UAE and the wider Gulf.


It is also currently working on an underwater amusement park project on The World, the manmade series of islands in the shape of the map of the world off the coast of Dubai, which he said will hopefully move forward this year.


The Qatar TV station proposal is the latest lavish underwater project to be pitched in the Gulf in recent weeks. Last month, Arabian Business reported a Polish architect confirmed he was is pitching designs for an underwater tennis centre off the coast of Dubai and is currently seeking investment from local backers to make the concept a reality.


Krzysztof Kotala, who has a Master of Science in Architecture from Krakow Polytechnic and owns the 8+8 Concept Studio in Warsaw, has completed the initial designs. While the story made headlines around the world, he admitted he had yet to source any potential investors to launch the proposal.


“There is not an investor but I would like to get interest as I think it is a good idea,” he told Arabian Business.


“This will be something original. This should be somewhere where there is the tradition of tennis. Dubai is perfect for this idea,” Kotala added, referring to the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, which has been staged in the emirate since 1993.
