First one in this series is the Al Rayyan Stadium and Precinct, which will be built on the site of Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium.
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) will deliver the new, 40,000-seat Al Rayyan Stadium, which is a proposed venue for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar™.
The precinct surrounding Al Rayyan Stadium will include a vast range of facilities, including a mosque and aquatics centre.
