Al Bayt Stadium

About

Al-Bayt Stadium (ʾIstād al-Bayt, lit. 'The House Stadium') is a retractable roof football stadium in Al Khor, Qatar, which was opened in time for matches in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which began on 20 November 2022. The stadium is located 35 km (22 mi) away from Doha, which made it the furthest stadium from the capital that was used in the World Cup. The stadium's construction contract was awarded to Qatari contractor Galfar al-Misnad, Webuild S.p.A. and Cimolai in 2015.
