Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the organizing committee for the World Cup, did not respond to a request for more information about plans after the tournament.
The report also didn't factor in operational emissions - or those produced from running a building - once the stadium is repurposed because standards vary in different countries, FIFA and Qatar said.
"The energy required for dismantling and shipping the building components will obviously need to be estimated," Elgendy said, "but it is unlikely to outweigh the carbon embodied in the building materials."
For now, the stadium's design isn't lost on spectators. On any game night, fans entering and leaving the stadium take selfies against its modern, industrial facade. The temporary stadium is hosting seven games in total - with the final one on Monday between Brazil and South Korea.
Jhonarel Minoza, a 42-year-old Qatari resident originally from the Philippines, said she and her sister wanted to see a game in each of the seven stadiums.
Minoza, an administrative officer who has lived in Qatar for five years, said she had heard about Stadium 974s unconventional design before the game she attended on Friday.
"I was really eager to know how they built it," Minoza said. "When I came inside here, I was just checking how they did that."
