Al Khor FIFA World Cup Stadium: For the Qatar 2022 stadium concept three existing stadiums will be expanded and nine new stadiums will be built with capacities reaching from approx. 45,000 seats for the group matches to more than 85,000 seats for the finals. All stadiums will provide optimal conditions for players, match officials, spectators and media representatives as they are equipped with an ultramodern eco-friend­ly cooling technology providing excellent outdoor comfort. In order to meet the post-tournament demand of Qatar Stars League most of the stadiums have a modular upper tier which could be demounted after the World Cup.
