Set sail on a modern journey with football
Capacity
40,000
Al Wakra, 22 km east of central Doha
A modern style that bridges the past with the present, and a strong visual symbol of Qatar's keenness to communicate with the world.
Al Janoub Stadium is located in the south of Al Wakrah city, one of Qatar's oldest inhabited areas. This city has a rich history and a vision for the future of football. As the FIFA World Cup 2022™ kicks off, the world will have the chance to learn about the most exclusive stadiums ever built to host this beautiful game – and Al Janoub Stadium certainly holds a special place in this regard.
The impressive design of this stadium was inspired by the sails of traditional Qatari boats, celebrating Al Wakrah's long history as a center for fishing and pearling. For centuries, these beautiful boats sailed across the waters of the Gulf and beyond, and returned laden with the bounty of the sea.
After the tournament, Al Janoub Stadium will be reduced in capacity and seats will be donated to other sporting projects around the world. Al Wakrah Sports Club fans will also have the opportunity to live a very exciting atmosphere during the matches of their favorite club in the stadium. In addition to football, the stadium is surrounded by magnificent gardens featuring sporting and recreational facilities that the community will benefit from for years to come. A bright future awaits this amazing stadium.
