1 Al Bayt Stadium.
From the original architectural draught, Al Bayt Stadium was destined to host the FIFA World Cup 2022TM Opening Match. Qatar used the rich tapestry of its culture to welcome the globe, encouraging people to enjoy the customary comforts that this area has sought for ages.
The stadium’s architecture, draped in a flowing tensile fabric envelope, recalls the idea of a Bedouin tent—colloquially known as bayt al sha’ar, the traditional shelter of the region’s nomadic tribes—amid the sandy stretches that characterise its surroundings along the outskirts of Al Khor city. Despite the exaggerated feeling of scale, its pure white shape, emphasised by black streaks and red accents along the openings, serves as a contextually meaningful landmark.
Apacity : it is powered by a huge capacity of 68,895.

It also witnessed the debut of a new Portugal star, Goncalo Ramos, who scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 hammering of Switzerland in the round of 16.

Stadium 974
Stadium 974 is a football stadium in Ras Abu Aboud, Doha, Qatar, roughly 10 kilometres east of Doha.
Even before its debut match, Stadium 974 created history. It is the world’s first totally demountable covered football stadium, made entirely of shipping containers and modular steel, demonstrating Qatar’s dedication to cost-effective sustainability and imaginative design.
According to reports, officials have began destroying Stadium 974 after it hosted seven FIFA World Cup events, including six group games and one Round of 16 knockout encounter. It was also the only World Cup stadium built without air conditioning, hence it exclusively held evening matches. The BBC reports that construction workers arrived on the venue on December 9 to “take the stadium out of tournament mode.” The construction was created to be the first FIFA-compliant stadium that can be completely demolished and repurposed once the competition is over. While Qatar termed it a “beacon of sustainability,” experts warn that the scheme’s true sustainability is dependent on a number of circumstances, including when and where the stadium will be utilised.
