As of 2022 it was the second largest football stadium in Asia, with a plan to eventually reduce capacity from 88,966 to 40,000. However, as of December 2025 this has yet to happen. The stadium is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Doha, in the city of Lusail. Lusail Stadium was inaugurated on 9 September 2022 with the Lusail Super Cup game.
