Lusail to host final
The 80,000-seater Lusail Stadium hosted the Qatar Stars League (QSL) tie between Al Rayyan and Al Arabi in its inaugural match.
The stunning venue, which is located in the pioneering Lusail City, 15kms north of central Doha, will host matches during every stage of Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, starting with the Group C clash between Argentina and Saudi Arabia on November 22.
Arab culture
The stadium embodies Qatar’s ambition and its passion for sharing Arab culture with the world. The design of the stadium was inspired by the interplay of light and shadow that characterises the fanar lantern.
Its shape and golden facade echo the intricate decorative motifs on bowls, vessels and other art pieces found across the Arab and Islamic world during the rise of civilisation in the region.
Many firsts
Qatar 2022 will have any firsts to its credit as it first in the FIFA’s 92-year history to be played in a Muslim country with such strict social taboos around alcohol.
Questions about how Qatar would cater for fans wanting to drink alcohol have been asked since FIFA picked the host nation in 2010. The next year, FIFA renewed a sponsor deal through 2022 with Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busc.
