FCC Construcción, through the Red Line of the Doha Metro project, is present at the Qatar 2022 Soccer World Cup. The red line of the Doha metro was awarded by the international magazine ENR, as the best metro project in the world in the year 2018.

The work executed by FCC has been the Red Line South Elevated & At Grade, with 7 kilometers of elevated section and three stations. Among the reasons for the agreement are the high economic, social and sustainability impact (sustainable mobility) and compliance with the SDGs that the design, construction and operation of the metropolitans entail, in particular, the Doha Metro, in Qatar.

The red line runs from Al Qassar station to Al Wakra station, about 40 kilometers in length. This commissioning is key to meeting the deadlines for transport connections, necessary for the 2022 soccer world cup. This recently partially inaugurated line will transport fans from the Al Wakra stadium to the Lusail stadium in the near future, where they will play matches of the 2022 World Cup. The complete metro network, which will be inaugurated in 2020, will have three lines -red, green and gold- and will consist of 37 stations and 85 km in length. Future expansions of the metro will include the introduction of an additional line (Blue) and the expansion of the existing ones, with 65 additional stations, with a first expansion completed in 2026.
