Doha: Football fans were treated to a special occasion on Qatar National Day, as the 48th Amir Cup final became the first official match to be played at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium. The 40,000-capacity venue is the fourth Qatar 2022 stadium to be inaugurated with just under two years to go until the country hosts the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world.
As part of the festivities on December 18, 2020, the Community Engagement Division of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) partnered with various stakeholders, notably the Ministry of Culture and Sports and Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum (QOSM), to operate a Fan Zone outside the stadium.
