Work on Al Wakrah Stadium’s façade is almost complete and its retractable roof cables are now being installed. Inside the stadium, the installation of the seats is progressing, giving a real sense of what this magnificent arena will look like three years from now. The new Al Wakrah Stadium will host matches of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
