FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Stadium: From November 20 to December 18, Qatar will host the FIFA World Cup 2022. The FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Stadium, which is slated to be the 22nd edition of the international football competition, is expected to be particularly memorable as it would be the first World Cup to be hosted by a Middle Eastern nation.
Additionally, Asia will host the FIFA World Cup for the second time this year. 2002 FIFA World Cup hosting duties were split between Japan and South Korea.
64 matches involving 32 teams will be played in a total of eight stadiums spread across five different Qatari cities in the FIFA World Cup 2022.
On the other hand, the building of the stadiums has been very divisive ever since Qatar was chosen to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The working circumstances for migrant workers on the stadium projects have drawn criticism.
The claim made by Qatar that the competition will be the “first carbon-neutral FIFA World Cup in history” has been criticised as being “far-fetched,” which has drawn criticism from the event’s organizers.
How Many Events Are Host By FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Stadium?
From the first game on November 20 through the championship game on December 18, the 32 teams will play in eight stadiums.
The first game will begin in the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, and the championship game will take place at the Lusail Stadium in Doha one month later.
FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Stadium – A Complete List
1) Lusail Iconic Stadium
The centrepiece of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Stadium will be the Lusail Stadium, which is formally known as the “Lusail Iconic Stadium.” It is the largest stadium currently in use and has cooling systems that use energy from a solar farm outside the city to assist in combat the local environment. The World Cup final, a number of group matches, and one match from each round of the knockout stages before December 18 will all be played here.
The Metro and matchday buses from Doha both travel there; it is located 15 miles north of Doha. With plans to eventually build an infrastructure that could support twice as many people as the current 200,000, Lusail is still very much a developing city.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) woven fibreglass membrane is used to create its distinctive peaked shape, and it also features a retractable roof that complements the stadium’s cooling systems.

6)Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium
The architectural styles of the stadium and the nearby structures are influenced by regional customs and culture.

The multi-use stadium is situated in Umm Al Afaeiin, Al Rayyan, Qatar, a historic city. Al-Rayyan Stadium is the name of the venue in common usage.
The former stadium, which could hold 40,000 people, was destroyed in 2015. BDP Pattern and Ramboll collaborated on the design of the new building. The previous stadium provided more than 80% of the construction materials, and any trees that were already there were carefully protected. Fans can travel using the new Doha Metro system, which is environmentally friendly.
