STADIUMS

AL BAYT STADIUM
Capacity: 60,000
Opened: November 30, 2021

(Enjoy the warmest of Arab welcomes)

Al Bayt Stadium’s role as host for the FIFA World Cup 2022™ Opening Match was assured from its first design sketch. Qatar turned to the rich fabric of its culture to welcome the world – inviting guests to enjoy the traditional comfort custom has demanded in this region for centuries.

Inspired by the bayt al sha’ar of Qatar’s nomadic people, the stadium’s magnificent tent structure envelopes an ultra-modern football stadium. Traditionally, the tents are identified by black and white stripes. This is reflected on the arena's distinctive exterior, as are the vibrant sadu patterns that greet fans once inside.

Lusail Stadium

(Alive with heritage, an icon for the future)

Lusail Stadium will host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Final – an event that will secure its place in football and architectural history. Immense yet exquisite, the scale and splendour of this arena are a wonder, built to lie in harmony with its surroundings.

The design reflects the hand-crafted bowls found all across the Arab and Islamic world during the rise of civilisation, while interplays of light mirror the fanar lanterns of the region. With the passing of time, the golden exterior will fade replicating aged metal handicrafts to create a venue alive with cultural character.

Capacity: 80,000
Opened: November 22, 2021
Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium
Capacity: 40,000
Opened: December 18, 2020

(Where desert stories unfold)

Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium stands proudly in Umm Al Afaei– one of Qatar’s most historic cities and home to the famous Al Rayyan SC. It is located right on the edge of the desert, the scene of many Qatari tales that live close to the hearts of the locals – a welcoming people who love their football as much as their fascinating past.

The stadium’s design, and that of its surrounding buildings, mirrors aspects of the local culture and traditions. The intricate façade reflects the undulations of sand dunes while intricate geometric patterns reflect the beauty of the desert, native flora and fauna, as well as local and international trade. It is the perfect home for Al Rayyan SC when the tournament ends.

Al Janoub Stadium

(See football sail into a new era)

Al Janoub Stadium lies in the southern city of Al Wakrah, one of Qatar’s oldest continuously inhabited areas. A city rich in history but with its sights set on a new horizon – the future of football. As the FIFA World Cup 2022™ plays out, the world will be invited into some of the most unique stadiums ever built for the beautiful game – Al Janoub Stadium sits firmly in that category.

The stadium’s captivating design reflects the wind-filled sails of Qatar’s traditional dhow boats – in tribute to Al Wakrah’s fishing and pearl diving past. For centuries these beautiful crafts have sailed through Gulf waters and far beyond, returning laden with the sea’s bounty.

Capacity: 40,000
Opened: May 16, 2019
Al Thumama Stadium
Capacity: 40,000
Opened: October 21, 2021

(A venue steeped in culture and tradition)

Al Thumama Stadium’s dynamic and imaginative shape celebrates local culture and traditions just as much as it does a new era for stadium design. This particular venue also has a significance that is close to the hearts of locals and resonates across the region.

Its bold, circular form reflects the gahfiya – the traditional woven cap adorned by men and boys all across the Arab world. An integral part of family life and central to traditions, the gahfiya symbolises the coming of age for youth. A time of emerging self-confidence and ambition that marks the first steps into the future and a realisation of dreams, it is a fitting inspiration for this one-of-a-kind stadium.

Education City Stadium

(A shimmering jewel of inspiration)

Lusail Stadium will host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Final – an event that will secure its place in football and architectural history. Immense yet exquisite, the scale and splendour of this arena are a wonder, built to lie in harmony with its surroundings.

The design reflects the hand-crafted bowls found all across the Arab and Islamic world during the rise of civilisation, while interplays of light mirror the fanar lanterns of the region. With the passing of time, the golden exterior will fade replicating aged metal handicrafts to create a venue alive with cultural character.

Capacity: 40,000
Opened: June 15, 2020
Khalifa International Stadium
Capacity: 40,000
Opened: 1976

(A sporting legend re-energised)

Khalifa International Stadium has hosted a long list of momentous sporting events since its inauguration in 1976. In fact, rarely is football or athletics mentioned in Qatar without referring to this venue. Naturally, the stadium received a complete refit for the FIFA World Cup 2022™ as a reward for its long-standing service. On reopening in May 2017, it played host to the Amir Cup Final – the club football event close to the hearts of all Qataris.

The stadium’s magnificent dual arches were always its most recognisable features. These remain intact – but now feature a wide canopy stretched out below them. This complements the stadium's cooling system to maintain a comfortable temperature for players and fans alike.

Stadium 974

(Innovation at the heart of it all)

Stadium 974 made history even before its first match. Constructed entirely from shipping containers and modular steel, it is the first fully demountable covered football stadium – showing Qatar’s commitment to cost-effective sustainability and daring design.

This unique venue pays tribute to Qatar’s long-standing tradition of worldwide trade and seafaring. Not only is 974 the international dialling code for Qatar, but it is also the exact number of shipping containers used in construction. Situated in the portside area and in sight of Doha’s coastal cityscape, fans at Stadium 974 will feel the cool breeze as it rolls in from the Arabian Gulf.
