Located 12 kilometers south of Doha's glittering skyline, Al Thumama Stadium will host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches up to the quarter-finals. The design of Al Thumama Stadium is dynamic, powerful and imaginative, and in keeping with all World Cup stadiums, this arena has been designed to celebrate Arab culture and traditions, just like the tournament itself. The stadium’s bold circular shape reflects the Qahfiya “a traditional woven hat that has been worn by men and boys across the Middle East for centuries, symbolizing dignity and independence. Embodying Qatar’s youth, Al Thumama Stadium also signals the nation’s emergence as a major player on the global sporting scene.”
