Qatar's 8 Amazing Stadiums To Host FIFA World Cup In 2022

DOHA: Numerous issues have plagued the Arab nation of Qatar ever since FIFA granted it the hosting rights in 2010.

But a significant question is how Qatar will organize such a major event without a football heritage. In response, Qatar seems to have constructed eight cutting-edge stadiums and prepared them well in advance.

Al Bayt Stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, Al Thumama Stadium, Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Lusail Stadium, Stadium 974, Education City Stadium, and Al Janoub Stadium are the eight stadiums.

They are all situated 55 kilometers or less from Doha, Qatar's capital. Doha, Lusail, Al Khor, Al Wakrah, and Al Rayyan are the five cities where the eight stadiums are dispersed.

Al Bayt Stadium

Along with eight other significant matches, including a semifinal on December 14, the stadium will host the opening match of the main event between Qatar and Ecuador on November 20.
