Fitting
inspiration
Its
bold,
circular
form
reflects
the
gahfiya
–
the
traditional
woven
cap
adorned
by
men
and
boys
all
across
the
Arab
world.
An
integral
part
of
family
life
and
central
to
traditions,
the
gahfiya
symbolises
the
coming
of
age
for
youth.
A
time
of
emerging
self-confidence
and
ambition
that
marks
the
first
steps
into
the
future
and
a
realisation
of
dreams,
it
is
a
fitting
inspiration
for
this
one-of-a-kind
stadium.
Exterior
stands
Fans’
first
glimpse
of
Al
Thumama
may
come
from
above,
as
many
international
flights
descend
over
the
venue.
Its
brilliant
white
exterior
stands
out
amid
its
lush
green
surroundings
–
areas
for
play
and
relaxation.
Al
Thumama
Stadium
brings
a
vision
beyond
its
inspiration
and
purpose
–
marking
a
coming
of
age
for
the
beautiful
game.
Sprawling
venue
The
sprawling
venue
was
inaugurated
in
the
presence
of
Qatar’s
Amir
Sheikh
Tamim
bin
Hamad
Al
Thani
and
FIFA
President
Gianni
Infantino
on
October
22,
2021.
There
could
not
have
been
a
better
match
than
the
final
of
the
49th
edition
of
Emir’s
Cup
between
Qatar
Stars
League
(QSL)
clubs
Al
Rayyan
and
Al
Sadd
to
set
the
ball
rolling
at
Al
Thumama.
During
Qatar
2022,
the
stadium
will
host
eight
matches
up
to
and
including
the
quarterfinals
stage.
The
venue
hosted
six
matches
of
FIFA
Arab
Cup
Qatar
2021
(which
was
more
of
a
test
event
for
Qatar
2022
FIFA
World
Cup),
including
the
semifinals.
After
Qatar
2022,
the
stadium’s
existing
capacity
of
40,000
will
be
reduced
to
20,000
and
used
for
football
and
other
sporting
events,
with
the
dismantled
sporting
infrastructure
to
be
donated
to
developing
nations.
Lush
green
Al
Thumama
Stadium’s
unmistakable
presence
sits
majestically
amid
its
lush
green
surroundings.
Areas
for
play
and
relaxation
have
been
created
to
not
only
beautify
the
venue,
but
to
further
enhance
the
lives
and
futures
of
the
local
communities.
Al
Thumama
features
state-of-the-art
cooling
technology,
which
will
allow
the
venue
to
host
events
throughout
the
year.
Its
precinct
includes
a
number
of
sporting
facilities,
including
cycling
and
running
tracks,
and
extensive
green
spaces,
for
the
benefit
of
the
local
community.
