Al Thumama Stadium’s dynamic and imaginative shape celebrates local culture and traditions just as much as it does a new era for stadium design. This particular venue also has a significance that is close to the hearts of locals and resonates across the region. It is the only stadium, among the FIFA world cup 2022 stadiums, that has been designed by a local architect.
Its bold, circular form reflects the gahfiya, the traditional woven cap worn by men and boys all across the Arab world.
This design was chosen because it is a cultural commonality among Arabs in the Arab world. Therefore, it expresses the Arab civilization's depth and the intertwined cultural-historical legacy of the Arab countries.
The stadium has a capacity of 44,400 seats which will be reduced after the tournament to 20,000.

Al Jazeera’s Farrah Esmail reports from AlThumama stadium in Doha.
