Qatar has so far confirmed eight stadiums in five cities for the World Cup: Al Wakrah, Doha, Jor, Lusail and Riyadh, all of which will host the 64 World Cup matches.
Of the eight stadiums, only the Khalifa International Stadium was fully completed at the time of its selection as the venue, which is now reopened after being refurbished to host its matches. The Al Bayt Stadium (where the opening ceremony will be held) was built on the site of the defunct Al Khor Stadium. The 974 stadium will be the first fully dismantled sports complex and once the tournament is over its parts will be donated to underdeveloped countries. The Lusail stadium, where (among other matches) the grand final will be played, is being built in parallel to the city of the same name. The Arab country’s authorities have assured that the stadiums and fan fests will be air-conditioned to ventilate the atmosphere.
