Qatar's Lusail stadium ready for inauguration
Lusail Stadium Project Manager Tamim El Abed revealed that the stadium is 100% ready to host FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 finals after obtaining all the approvals confirming the completion of its facilities for the global event.
El Abed added that the Lusail Stadium is 100% ready as it obtained the approvals of the Civil Defence Department in December and the Security Systems Department at the Ministry of Interior in July, and obtained a building completion certificate, pointing out that the stadium marked 60 million working hours.
He pointed out that the logistical work in the stadium vicinity, whether in terms of fans services, first aid services, and tickets is still a work in progress and will be done two months before the tournament as it is subject to modification and change from one match to another.
The design of Lusail Stadium interprets the past of the State of Qatar and its future vision, as it mixes ancient and modern Islamic architecture, along with unique wavy inscriptions. Once entering the stadium, visitors will be received by an impressive spectacle of 80,000 football fans, drawing a palette of vibrant colours.
Once the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is over, Lusail Stadium will be transformed into a community space including schools, shops, cafés, sporting facilities and health clinics. This multi-purpose community hub will allow people to find everything they need under one roof, the original roof of the football stadium.
