Education City Stadium (Qatar World Cup 2022)
The Education City Stadium is a host venue of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ starting in November. The façade of the stadium features triangles that form complex, diamond-like geometrical patterns which appear to change colour with the sun’s movement across the sky. Like diamonds, the stadium’s design represents quality, durability and resilience – and will become something to be treasured, both for the memories it holds and its future value to the country.

Opening match
The stadium was inaugurated in June 2020 during a virtual event that paid tribute to frontline healthcare workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
The precinct already features Education City Golf Club, which hosted the Qatar Masters – a European Tour event – for the first time in 2020. During legacy mode, the precinct will feature a retail area, conference centre, health and wellness facility, and two schools.
How to get there
Fans will be able to reach the venue using the Doha Metro Green Line. Education City Station is located just 500 metres from the stadium.
Legacy and sustainability
The stadium’s modular upper tier will be removed, with the seats donated to a country which lacks sporting infrastructure. The stadium will become a sporting hub for the local community, including students and faculty.
The stadium is the first Qatar 2022 tournament venue to achieve a five-star design and build rating from the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS). Education City Stadium will feature state-of-the-art cooling technology for the benefit of fans, players and officials.
