The stadium’s completion will be marked digitally on the Supreme Committee’s social media platforms, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and via special 60 minute programmes in both Arabic and English on beIN SPORTS.
The completion of the third tournament-ready venue is a proud moment for the SC, QF and the entire country. We remain on track to deliver the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world, and hope to unveil two more stadiums by the end of the year.
H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi, Chairman and Secretary General, SCThe eyes of the world will be on this stadium when it hosts matches as the World Cup comes to Qatar and the region in 2022, but its value will extend far beyond the tournament. The stadium’s place at the heart of Qatar Foundation’s vibrant, open community will make it an enduring focal point and a hub of activity, social interaction, and knowledge.
It will continue to bring people together long after the World Cup, encourage them to embrace sport and healthy living, and, as one of the world’s most sustainable sporting venues, promote the importance of making sustainability a key element of our lifestyles.
This is a stadium to experience, enjoy, learn from, and be inspired by, with a lifespan that will stretch across generations. We are delighted and proud that it stands within our community at Qatar Foundation and congratulate all involved in bringing the vision of this stadium to magnificent reality.
H.E. Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson, CEO, QF
