Lusail Stadium

Capacity: 80,000 Location: Lusail City, 20km north of central Doha

-

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.

On December 18 2022, 80,000 fans will come together here for the World Cup Final. Afterwards, and in keeping with Qatar’s dedication to sustainabl­e developmen­t, Lusail Stadium will be transforme­d into a community space of schools, shops, cafes, sporting facilities and health clinics.
