Qatar 2022 is still two years away but the hosts say they are ready for the tournament. Friday, one of eight venues for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Al Rayyan Stadium, was declared open.
The inauguration ceremony was climaxed with a football match, the final of the 2020 Amir Cup between Al Sadd and Al Arabi. The 40,000-capacity venue will host seven World Cup matches, including a round of 16 matches.
The inauguration of the stadium will serve as a first test event for the ground. Al Rayyan Sports Club will take up residence at the stadium.
