The 2022 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Qatar for the first time, is just three weeks away. With the preparations for this massive event underway, we decided to list some of the stadiums that are expected to host matches in the World Cup.
Lusail Stadium
Lusail Stadium is one of the most impressive stadiums in the world. The 80,000 seats make it one of the largest in the world, and it will host the final match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
It also led to the creation of Lusail City, an entire city built to serve as a new hub for Qatar’s economy.
The stadium is located on a man-made island near Doha and will provide access to transportation options, such as buses and boats that can take fans from their homes to the stadium.
Al Bayt Stadium
The Al Bayt Stadium is one of the world’s most unique and innovative stadiums. It features a tent-like structure, which will be able to accommodate 60,000 fans, and it will host the opening match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The stadium design was done by Dar Al-Handasah, who is known for their work with other famous stadiums such as Al Wakrah Stadium and Qatar Foundation Stadium.
Stadium 974
Stadium 974 is one of the unique stadiums in Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup. The stadium is located on the shore around Doha’s West Bay Skyline and has a capacity of 40,000.
It was previously named Ras Abou Aboud but was renamed Stadium 974 after Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
