Al Bayt Stadium – Al Khor City

This 60,000-seat stadium is the future home of Al Khor Sports Club and a proposed semi-final venue for Qatar 2022. Installation of the retractable roof and iconic tent-like façade, along with landscaping around the precinct, are ongoing. Other developments include the laying of the pitch, the completion of four artificial lakes and installation of the solar lighting poles. Some of these poles will replicate the traditional needle used for weaving in Qatar, while others will look like Arab falcon stands.

Al Wakrah Stadium

Inspired by the late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, this design emulates the shape of the traditional dhow boat used in fishing towns like Al Wakrah. Installation of the bleachers is completed and work on the stadium roof structure and production of stadium seating, by Qatari company Coastal, is ongoing. Exciting work is also happening in an area adjacent to the site, where turf for the stadium's pitch is being grown at the local turf nursery. This 40,000-seat stadium will host matches up to the quarter-finals stage in 2022.

Al Rayyan Stadium

This 40,000-seat venue will host matches up to the quarter-finals stage in 2022. After the tournament, it will be handed over to Al Rayyan Sports Club, one of Qatar's most popular football clubs, when the venue capacity will be reduced to 28,000. Work on-site is advancing rapidly with the development of roof columns being completed, and the steel for the roof and upper tier seats arriving from China. These will soon be installed by a 1,250-tonne crane. The Al Rayyan Stadium project recently passed 15 million man hours without suffering a lost-time accident.

Education City Stadium

The construction of the 40,000 capacity Education City Stadium remains on track following the installation of 44 V-shaped columns. In addition, the stadium's concrete skeleton, pre-cast tier and demountable steel tiers have been built and installed. Once complete, the stadium will become the focal point for Education City's sporting facilities and play a key role in Qatar Foundation's commitment to community development.

Excavation works are ongoing in the stadium area and the reinforced concrete for the foundation is being installed.

Lusail Stadium

Stadium foundations are almost 50% complete and work on the columns and footings is ongoing. The venue, which will be the centre-piece of the tournament, is starting to take shape, with the main structure beginning to rise skywards, where it will eventually reach 80m. In addition, the lower tier foundations are nearing completion.
