Fans arriving at this 68,895-capacity arena will have never seen anything like it. A giant tent structure covers the entire stadium, located in the northern city of Al Khor.
The stadium was formally inaugurated in November, 2021, at the opening match of the FIFA Arab Cup between Qatar and Bahrain.
A giant tent structure covers the entire stadium. Its design was inspired by the traditional tents of the region’s nomadic peoples.
Located just 35km north of Doha, Al Khor is a city famous for its pearl diving and fishing; its charms tempted traditionally desert-dwelling people to the coast.
