Education City Stadium is also known as Qatar Foundation Stadium. it’s a currently under construction stadium which will be one of the playing venues of the football World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
First plans for the stadium were presented as a part of Qatar’s bid for the planet Cup. Ground preparation works were started in 2014, but it took until the top of 2016 for actual foundation works to start out. The stadium is predicted to be completed in 2019.
Qatar Foundation Stadium is meant to reflect a diamond within the desert. The stadium will have a capacity of roughly 40,000 seats, which can make it eligible to host matches up to the quarter-final at the planet Cup. After the tournament, the capacity is going to be reduced again to 25,000 seats.
Education City is found within the northwest of Doha (or actual Al Rayyan) at roughly 14 kilometers from central Doha (The Corniche and Souq Waqif) and an identical distance from the West Bay and therefore the Pearl areas further north along the Persian Gulf coast. The stadium is going to be connected with the remainder of Doha by a currently under construction new metro line.
Qatar Foundation Stadium is getting built on Education City, an outsized campus where multiple local and foreign universities and research institutes are based. Education City is an initiative of the Qatar Foundation for Education, according to the name of the Qatar foundation stadium.
