History, Name, Capacity, Culture and Design

Khalifa International Stadium already hosts a long list of sporting events in Qatar. Understandably, the stadium has been inaugurated since 1976. The stadium is named after Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, the former Emir of Qatar.

Usually, Khalifa International Stadium is used for football and athletics matches. With a good running track quality, Khalifa International Stadium is very likely to hold athletic sports matches.

The Qatari government decided to renovate the Khalifa International Stadium. The stadium was reopened in May 2017. At the opening ceremony, the Amir Cup Final duel was held.

Not surprisingly, the Khalifa International Stadium is increasingly loved by Qataris. Moreover, the Khalifa International Stadium has an iconic appearance.

The double arch on the roof of the magnificent stadium is the main characteristic. Currently, there is already a wide canopy that partially covers the roof of the stadium.

The stadium is located in the heart of the Aspire Zone, Qatar’s center of sporting excellence which was the foundation of the 2006 Asian Games. The area is designed to encourage participation in sport.

Khalifa International Stadium is also the venue for the first Qatar 2022 World Cup to be certified by the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS).

Technology and Capacity

The addition of a canopy on the roof of the stadium complements the stadium’s cooling system to maintain a comfortable temperature for players and spectators.

Khalifa International Stadium also looks beautiful from the outside. There are colorful LED lights on the roof that make the stadium sparkle.

Currently, the Khalifa International Stadium has a capacity of 40 thousand seats. The reshuffle carried out a few years ago added 10,450 seats.
