Al Thumama Football Stadium

Located 12 kilometers south of the glittering Doha skyline, Al Thumama Stadium will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar matches from the sixteenth round matches to the quarter-final matches, with a capacity of up to 40,000 fans. The design of Al Thumama Stadium was dynamic, powerful and imaginative, and in line with all World Cup stadiums, this arena was designed to celebrate Arab culture and traditions, just like the tournament itself. The stadium's bold circular shape reflects the gahfiya (a traditional woven hat worn by men and boys across the Middle East for centuries), which symbolizes dignity and independence. An embodiment of Qatar's youth, Al Thumama Stadium also signals the country's emergence as a major player on the global sporting stage.
