    I am impressed with the stadium. It features great engineering and is one of the venues for the FIFA 2022 world cup. The stadium is also extremely well-lit. The air conditioning system is amazing inside the stadium. The temperature will be amazing.

    Was lucky enough to watch the Qatar WC 2022 3rd place match here. The atmosphere inside and outside the stadium was mind blowing and sets a very festive vibe all over. The stadium is also air conditioned which helps the spectators during summer to enjoy the game well. Definitely a one of a kind experience.

    Modern, with excellent sight lines from throughout the stadium. A reasonable range of snacks available before and during the game. Surprisingly little evidence of any merchandise. My son would have liked to buy a Qatar scarf or shirt, but we did not see any outside or inside the stadium.

    Khalifa International Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Al Rayyan, Qatar, around 9 kilometres (6 miles) west from the centre of Doha. Its ground comprises a running track and a grass pitch. Opened in 1976, the stadium was named after then-Emir of Qatar Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, and under the ownership of the Qatar Football Association, it serves as the primary home ground of the Qatar men's national football team. It’s my favorite stadium in Qatar 🇶🇦

    I was lucky enough to watch a group match of the Qatar WC 2022 here. The atmosphere both inside and outside the stadium was mind-blowing and created a very festive vibe all over. The stadium is air-conditioned, which helps the spectators to enjoy the game comfortably even during the summer. It was definitely a one-of-a-kind experience. Don't forget to visit the 3,2,1 Museum near Khalifa Stadium; it was a great experience.

    Al Thumama Stadium Qatar Review The Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar is a modern and impressive sports venue that has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Located in the capital city of Doha, the stadium has a seating capacity of 40,000 and is home to the Qatar national football team. One of the standout features of the Khalifa International Stadium is its innovative design. The stadium is built with a cooled seating area, which helps to keep fans comfortable during the hot and humid Qatari summers. The roof of the stadium is also retractable, allowing for natural light and airflow to enter the venue. The stadium is not just used for football matches, but also hosts concerts and other sporting events such as athletics and rugby. The facilities at the Khalifa International Stadium are top-notch, with a state-of-the-art sound system, high-quality seating and excellent sightlines for spectators. Overall, the Khalifa International Stadium is a premier sports venue in Qatar that provides a great experience for fans and athletes alike. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Khalifa International Stadium (Arabic: ملعب خليفة الدولي, romanized: Istād Khalīfah), also known as National Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Doha, Qatar, as part of the Doha Sports City complex, which also includes Aspire Academy, Hamad Aquatic Centre, and the Aspire Tower.[3] It is named after Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, Qatar's former Emir. The final of 2011 AFC Asian Cup was held at this stadium. In 2017, it received a four-star rating from the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), the first in the world to be awarded this rating.[4] The stadium employs about 30,000 workersThe stadium opened in 1976.[5][6][7] In 1992, the stadium hosted all 15 games of the 11th Gulf Cup, which Qatar won for the first time.[8][9] It was renovated and expanded in 2005, before the 2006 Asian Games, to increase its capacity from originally 20,000 to 40,000 seats. A roof covers the western side of the stadium. The eastern side has a large arch, which was used as a platform to launch fireworks from during the 2006 Asian Games opening ceremony.[10] Before the 2005 renovation, the stadium was used mostly for association football (soccer) matches, but it is equipped for many other sports. Since 1997, the stadium has hosted the annual Doha Diamond League (previously known by other names) track and field competition. It is the Qatar national football team's home stadium. The stadium hosted 6 games of the 2011 Pan Arab Games: all matches of the Qatar national team in the group stage, as well as the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals of the tournament.[11] After another redevelopment, the stadium reopened in May 2017.[12] The stadium was the site of the 2019 World Athletics Championships in September and October of that year.[13] On 17 December 2019, the stadium was scheduled as the venue for two 2019 FIFA Club World Cup matches: the fifth-place match and the semi-final between the CONMEBOL Libertadores champions and the winner of Match 3. It eventually hosted the final, with Liverpool FC beating Flamengo 1-0 to become World Champions.[14][15] Following the decision to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022, it was planned to increase the capacity of the stadium to 68,000, but that plan has later been revised.[16]

    How do you describe atmosphere in a stadium? Stadium atmosphere-a collection of environmental cues such as crowd, noise, scent, lighting, music, and visual design-affects live attendees' emotional and behavioral responses

    Upon laying my eyes on Khalifa International Stadium, I am awestruck by its seamless fusion of contemporary aesthetics and timeless sporting tradition. The stadium's captivating design and state-of-the-art amenities create an atmosphere where athletic prowess converges with architectural brilliance. The retractable roof, a symbol of innovation, unfolds like a modern marvel, while the arena itself becomes a canvas for athletes to script their feats of excellence. Qatar's dedication to hosting unparalleled events and nurturing the spirit of sportsmanship finds its embodiment in this remarkable stadium.

    Very nice view of the stadium at this hour of the night. We are on our duty for installation of a monitoring system near all the grounds. The speciality of this stadium is the locality. And thanks to Starbucks nearby for making my breaks pleasant.

    Khalifa International Stadium has been Qatar’s principal football stadium since 1976. The stadium was built to serve as the flagship venue for the 1976 Gulf Cup that was held in Qatar and could initially hold 20,000 spectators. Over the years, the stadium has been upgraded several times, most notably for the 2006 Asian Games, which increased capacity to 40,000 seats. In 2011, Khalifa International Stadium hosted multiple matches including the final between Japan and Australia (1-0) during the 2011 Asian Cup. Khalifa International Stadium has been the standard playing venue of the Qatar national team and has furthermore occasionally hosted international friendlies of other teams such as Argentina and Brazil. When Qatar got awarded the 2022 World Cup in 2010, Khalifa International Stadium was naturally proposed as one of the playing venues, though an extensive upgrade was needed. Works on the stadium started in 2014, and included a refurbishment of all stands, additional seating, additional hospitality facilities, and the construction of a large innovative roof membrane that covers 70% of the stadium. The iconic arch of the stadium was replaced with a new one and complemented with a second one. Works were completed in the summer of 2017, which made it the first 2022 World Cup stadium to be finished. In 2019, Khalifa International Stadium was the venue of the 2019 IAAF World Championships in Athletics. How to get to Khalifa International Stadium Khalifa International Stadium is located in the west of Doha at roughly 10 kilometres from central Doha (e.g. the Souq Waqif and Corniche), and 18 kilometres from The Pearl development further north. The stadium can be reached by metro. Station Sports City is one the newly opened Gold line that runs through central Doha. Address: Al Waab St, Doha Eat, drink, and sleep near Khalifa International Stadium Khalifa International Stadium is part of a large development including Qatar’s other Olympic sports facilities (e.g. an aquatics centre and indoor hall), the large Villaggio Mall, a park, and the iconic The Torch Doha hotel. After completing the redevelopment, Khalifa International Stadium will also house the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum. The Villaggio Mall houses multiple restaurants of all types including quite a few international chain restaurants from the likes of Shake Shack, Pizza Express, and TGI Fridays to your regular fast food chains. If you are looking to stay close to the stadium, you’ve got two hotels to choose from: the before mentioned Torch Doha and the Movenpick Al Aziziyah, though both are in the higher end.
