It was opened in 2019 and it is today one of the eight sports complexes hosting the 2022 World Cup that will surely be marked indelibly on the mind of every spectator who is in Qatar for the World Cup.
In 2013, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) unveiled her design for Qatar's Al Wakrah Stadium, (3 years before her death). The Iraqi-born architect created a stadium that addressed the sweltering heat of the Middle East while honoring the region’s history. pic.twitter.com/ZGjZFg6xD1

Simply put Al Janoub Stadium is an architectural marvel etched by Hadid herself in postmodernist and futuristic style based on the environs of the Gulf area and designed to bring out local tradition and heritage. It resembled the traditional dhow boats and sails that were once the mainstay of region based on the seafaring, pearling economy.

However, after the games, the stadium will be made smaller, half the seating capacity for the local Wakrah Football Club while the rest of the fixtures dismantled and donated to other countries.
