Al Thumama Stadium

Key facts

Club: none | Opening: 2021 | Capacity: 40,000 seats

History and description

Al Thumama Stadium is one of the newly built stadiums for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

Construction of the stadium began in 2017 and took over four years. Al Thumama Stadium officially opened on 22 October 2021 with the 49th Amir Cup Final between Al-Sadd and Al-Rayyan (1-1).

The stadium’s circular design has been inspired by the gahfiya, the traditional woven cap that is commonly worn by men across the Middle East.

During the World Cup, Al Thumama Stadium will host five first round group matches, one round of 16 match, and one quarter-final. The stadium is also one of the playing venues of the 2021 Arab Cup.

After the World Cup, capacity will be reduced to 20,000 seats by removing the upper tier.

How to get to Al Thumama Stadium

Al Thumama Stadium is located in the south of Doha, about 7 kilometres south of central Doha (the Souq Waqif area).

The stadium is not close to a metro station so either take a taxi or a local bus (or use special shuttle arrangements for the event). If taking the bus, catch bus 10 from Al Ghanim Bus Station near Souq Waqif. The stadium is at almost the end of the line at Al Thumama Bus Stop 7.

Of the 2022 World Cup Stadiums, Al Thumama Stadium is one of the closes located to Hamad International Airport.

Eat, drink, and sleep near Al Thumama Stadium

Al Thumama Stadium is located in the Al Thumama area in southern Doha, a relatively bland residential neighbourhood of little interest.

There are few if any places to eat or drink near the stadium and neither are there any hotels. If picking a hotel as close as possible to the stadium is your aim, go for one of the many options on the southern side of the Corniche in and around the Souq Waqif area.
