Every World Cup has two iconic matches that have remained in the minds of those who have witnessed the world’s largest single sporting event. These iconic matches are the opening game, which confirms to the world that the biggest event in soccer has begun, and the Final, which determines the tournament champion. That moment in Qatar 2022 is drawing nearer and nearer.
The FIFA World Cup will be officially launched on November 21. As has been the case since Germany 2006, the host country was expected to play in the opening match in Qatar 2022. The Qataris’ first match would be against Ecuador at the Al Bayt Stadium, according to the Final Draw. There was, however, a change in plans.
The duel between Senegal and the Netherlands was chosen as the first battle of Qatar 2022. These National Teams, along with Qatar and Ecuador, are in Group A. The Al Thumama Stadium will go down in history as the site of the opening game of the 22nd FIFA World Cup.
The opening match of the upcoming FIFA World Cup between Senegal and the Netherlands on November 21 can be enjoyed live by 40,000 spectators. It should be noted that the plan for this stadium is to reduce its capacity by half after Qatar 2022 ending and donate the 20,000 seats that are removed to other nations that are in the process of building stadiums, after the Qatar 2022 ends.
The Al Thumama Stadium will host eight matches during the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Six of them, including the tournament’s opening match, will be Group Stage matches, and two more will be Knockout stage matches: the first will be the Round of 16, in which the first place in Group D will face the second place in Group C, and the last will be the Quarter Finals.
Historical background
On Friday, October 22, 2021, Al Thumama Stadium opened as the site of Qatar’s most prestigious cup competition, the 49th Amir Cup Final oThe match. Al Thumama Stadium, located 12 kilometers south of Doha’s glittering skyline, will host FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM matches up to and including the quarter-finals.
A coming of age for the beautiful game
Al Thumama Stadium is a dynamic, empowering, and truly imaginative structure. This arena, like the rest of Qatar’s new FIFA World Cup 2022TM venues, has been designed to celebrate Arab culture and traditions as much as the tournament itself.
The stadium’s bold, circular shape is inspired by the gahfiya, a traditional woven cap worn by men and boys throughout the Middle East for centuries. It is a beloved part of Arab family culture that represents dignity and independence – a milestone on every young boy’s journey to adulthood.
In symbolising Qatar’s youth, Al Thumama Stadium also points to the country’s emergence as a major player on the global sporting scene.
An enduring future
Al Thumama Stadium’s unmistakable presence sits majestically amid its lush green surroundings. Areas for play and relaxation have been created to not only beautify the venue, but to further enhance the lives and futures of the local communities.
In legacy mode, the stadium’s capacity will be reduced to meet local needs and provide quality sporting infrastructure to developing nations. The remaining 20,000-seat arena will be used for football and other sporting events. A branch of the world-renowned Aspetar Sports Clinic will open on site, while a boutique hotel will also replace the stadium’s upper stands.
