Lusail Stadium

Lusail Stadium is one of the largest and most technologically advanced sports arenas in Qatar, located in the city of Lusail, approximately 20 kilometers north of Doha. Managed by the Qatar Football Association, the stadium had a capacity of 88,966 spectators upon opening, making it the largest stadium in the country and the entire Middle East. Its size has long ranked it among the largest football stadiums in Asia.

Construction of Lusail Stadium began in April 2017 in preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The project was jointly implemented by HBK Contracting and China Railway Construction Corporation. The stadium's grand opening took place on September 9, 2022, with the Lusail Super Cup match. A key event in the stadium's history was the 2022 World Cup final, held here on December 18 and culminating with a match between Argentina and France. The stadium hosted ten games during the World Cup, including the tournament's decisive match.

One of Lusail Stadium's distinctive features is its eco-friendly concept. The arena is equipped with a state-of-the-art solar-powered cooling system and is billed as a facility with a minimal environmental impact. In August 2022, the stadium received a five-star GSAS rating for its high design and construction standards.

Following the World Cup, the stadium will undergo a phased reconfiguration. Its capacity will be reduced to 40,000 seats, and the vacated space will be used to create public spaces with shops, cafes, sports, and educational facilities. Lusail Stadium has already hosted the finals of the 2023 Asian Cup, the 2024 Intercontinental Cup, and the 2025 Arab Nations Cup, and will also host the 2026 Finalissima between Spain and Argentina. Today, the stadium remains a key venue for international competitions, and you can purchase tickets for matches and other events held at Lusail Stadium on our website.
