Stunner of a stadium

A new image of Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, as released by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) on social media. A giant tent structure will cover the whole stadium, which will host matches right through to the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-finals. Being delivered by Aspire Zone Foundation, the stadium takes its name from ‘bayt al sha’ar’ – tents historically used by nomadic peoples in Qatar and the Gulf region. The design of the 60,000-capacity stadium “honours Qatar’s past and present, while keeping one eye on the future of the community”, according to the SC. Sport Page 1
