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.

NICE
one eye??
Wow
The stadium is worth the cost. Inshallah they should build a stadium like this in the Palestinian refugee camp in Gaza.
@Based.mp4 Inshallah and UNHRWA will pay for it and Inshallah DJ Khalid will sing

Yes! Qatar will pay for it and supply the slaves to build it!
@The indelible onionQatar does not need slaves, it has enough money to make the world work for it
World best arrangements
I lived and worked in Qatar for 10 months in 2012 – 2013. I found inner peace there. Something is magical about Doha. I don’t know what it is. I just felt joy and peace inside my soul.
Ignorance is bliss…
@Max Zorin your brainwashing has been effective. and i don’t use the word “brain” literally
Alas… Migrant workers didn’t
@Will Simp After consideration, I must regretfully decline the gracious offer of your services. . Not judging you at all, but for me… it just seems a little too… gay.😉
Now I fully support your your life choices and I wish you and whoever your lucky partner is all the best. Do you have a preferred pronoun? AND… I do use the word “pronoun” literally…
You have a great day.
Cheers mate. ✌🍻🤣
Very impressed from 🇨🇦! Gold elevators! 💰
For sure, if that is not utilitarian use of value, what is? 🤣
Asalmualikum
Ehhe
the hat is a topee, i don’t know what fancy name they got for it
It’s the most vulgar display of wealth. A stadium probably will never be used again for any international game. Half of stadium chairs will be donated to developing countries and elevators made out of gold. What a joke. Creating a world class university or company never occur to them.
Qatar is bidding again for 2034
Lol dude they are not dumb to make this just unlike you

What will these stadiums be used for in future?
They will use it to stage executions.
@The indelible onion I’m guessing you’re not a diplomat.😏

I love and working al tumama stadium
Love and respect for Qatar❤
Excellent job by Qatar.
Great. Hope to see Qatar pays respect to its workers also and those who have died in making such structure for them should be compensated to their family back at home.
It reflects the sacrifice of the life of thousands of people
Millions of people actually. We as Arabs are proud of this stadium
Qatari culture=sand
India culture= r@pe poverty
“This venue is steeped in Qatari culture…” Ya, the whole world witnessed Qatari culture, and I for one cannot wait for it to join the likes of other great cultures … like that of Ozymandias.
A culture resting upon a faith that seems to justify treating non Qatari citizens more like imported commodities than human beings and and used as carelessly. A culture where the state TELLS you to abandon reason for a fantasy novel. A culture where basic human rights are ignored. The Qatari officials did a great job of censoring ON CAMERA (MORONS LOL) for the whole world to see…A culture predicated on the existence of an invisible being that lives in the sky AND who’s prophet flew to heaven on a winged steed…
Hey Guys, the greeks want Pegasus back and are accusing you of horse theft…
Get your own fantasy critters !
Game of hangman: Q _ T _ _ is _ S _ _ TH _ _ E
Really cool, wish I could’ve gotten day footage like you but it looks cool at night too. It’s also right next to train station
I heard Qatar govt will demolish two stadiums, is that true?
It will dismantle Lusail and 974
Heritage of spending money with no good reason.
Excellent heritage!
Heritage of eating cow beef 🪓🐄🍖🍖🥩
Blood spread in every stadium; it won’t be kept longer. Cursed in every poor migrant worker😈😈

All the tickets to Morocco vs Spain are sold to Indians they resale them for 10 times the price the Qatari government should investigate and deport all who are involved back to india
Fnd a solution we spent money on airplane and hotels to find no tickets they’ve all bought by Indians
It’s very beautiful and beautiful century
Never forget the 15,000 dead slaves who built it!
Cope harder 🔥

This is what the west media was jealous of! Most fans coming said positive things
This is becasue of corrupted fifa that a regressive country got the hosting of biggest event.This is crime done by corrupted fifa and capitalists and dirty politicians against the people of the world.
Where are the pictures of each of the dead migrants who died while building it? Is the stadium so white because you used their bones to build it?
Where is her hijab
