Construction

The Al Thumama Stadium is one of seven stadiums, which are built for the FIFA World cup Qatar 2022. It is located near Hamad International Airport.[2] A joint venture between Al Jaber Engineering of Qatar and Tekfen Construction of Turkey is significantly involved in the construction work. The architectural design, by the Chief Architect of Arab Engineering Bureau Ibrahim Jaidah,[3] takes its inspiration from the traditional taqiyah hat, a traditional cap which is worn by men and boys across the middle east.[4][5] A 50,000 m2 (540,000 sq ft) public park will surround the stadium.[2] The stadium has a capacity 40,000 seats. Its completion is expected for 2021.[5][6]
