Al Thumama Stadium is a symbol of Qatari creativity, designed by architect Ibrahim Mohammed Jaidah. It draws inspiration from traditional headwear, the gahfiya. The construction began in 2017, and the stadium officially opened in late 2021. Its tournament capacity of 40,000 will later be adjusted to local needs, with the remaining 20,000 seats used for various sporting events.
