Inaugurated in the presence of His Excellency Sheikh Ali bin Jassim Al Thani, Ambassador of Qatar, this exhibition, which will run until December 12, is part of the activities of the Qatar-France Year of Culture 2020, a program of exchanges aimed at promoting mutual cultural understanding and influence.
It will allow visitors to discover the venues of the next major global football event. This is an opportunity to detail the innovations and specific features of these architectural gems, most of which have just been completed, as seven of the eight competition stadiums were specifically designed for this event.
With capacities ranging from 40,000 to 80,000 seats, these futuristic venues will be able to host supporters from around the world under optimal conditions. The largest stadium in the country, the Lusail Stadium, will host the competition’s final.
Qatar covers an area of 11,000 square kilometers, and the compact nature of the tournament allows spectators to attend several matches in one day, with a maximum travel distance of one hour between stadiums.
For the first time in history, this competition, which was created in 1930, will take place in winter, from November 21 to December 18, 2022. The competition will see 32 teams compete in the hope of succeeding France, the reigning world champion after their title win in Russia in 2018.
