About Al Janoub Stadium
Al Janoub Stadium is a football stadium in the coastal city of Al Wakrah, Qatar, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and completed for the FIFA World Cup 2022. The stadium’s roof and exterior form are inspired by traditional dhow sails and maritime heritage.
It hosted World Cup matches in 2022 and was built as a modern, air-cooled facility with integrated spectator amenities and a waterfront setting. The stadium was delivered around 2019 and featured a tournament capacity of around 40,000 spectators, with post-tournament plans to reduce seating and adapt part of the venue for community use.
Al Janoub Stadium is located in Al Wakrah municipality on Qatar’s eastern coast, a short drive south of Doha.
- Capacity and legacy: Originally built with a capacity of about 40,000 for FIFA World Cup 2022 matches, the stadium’s post-tournament plan included reducing and repurposing some seating.
