The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place in Qatar from the 20th of November to the 18th of December. Unlike previous FIFA World Cups, which are typically played in June and July, the 2022 World Cup will be the first World Cup ever to be held in the Arab world and will be played in November and December to avoid the intense Qatari summer heat.

‍

A spectator's dream, all eight stadiums are within 21 miles of central Doha and will be linked by a metro and tram system, making it possible to watch more than one game on the same day. The country intends the stadiums to reflect the historical and cultural aspects of Qatar, and for the designs to embody legacy, comfort, accessibility, and sustainability.

Al Bayt Stadium 

‍

A truly unique venue, Al Bayt Stadium’s entire structure is covered by a giant tent, reminiscent of those historically used by nomadic peoples in the region. Serving as a nod to Qatar’s past, it also looks forward to the future. In keeping with Doha’s sustainability ethos, the top level of the stadium is portable and is intended to be donated to a developing nation after the World Cup.

‍

Al Bayt Stadium will host five group stage matches, one of the round sixteen fixtures, one quarterfinals game and one of the two semifinals.

Lusail Stadium

‍

The main venue for the 2022 World Cup is Lusail Stadium, one of the city’s main attractions. Surrounded by a moat, the exterior of the stadium represents the sails of a traditional dhow boat. Inside, the stadium has been designed to have the entire pitch shaded, with a cooling system to maintain ideal temperatures throughout. 

Lusail Stadium will host five group stage matches, one of the round sixteen fixtures, one quarterfinals game, one of the two semifinals, the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the World Cup Final.

Al Thumama Stadium

Stadium 974

‍

Formerly Ras Abu Aboud Stadium, Stadium 974, will be the first fully dismountable stadium to serve as a World Cup host venue. As an incredible example of sustainable infrastructure, the stadium has been constructed in a modular format which allows it to later be transported and reassembled in a different location or even converted into smaller structures. The number 974 represents Qatar’s international dialling code, as well as the number of shipping containers used in the construction of the stadium.
