Qatar Opens Wakra Stadium for FIFA World Cup, a milestone in the country's football history. The stadium, designed by the late Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is the first fully-built stadium to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The opening ceremony featured a massive light show that showcased the historic relationship between the city of Wakra and the sea, particularly pearl diving. The event was attended by the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The stadium's design was inspired by traditional Qatari boats used for pearl diving. The stadium's roof is made of white fabric, inspired by the sails of these traditional boats. The stadium features advanced cooling technology in the stands for spectators and on the grass for players. The stadium will host World Cup matches up to the quarterfinals. After the tournament, the stadium's seating capacity will be reduced to 20,000 and will be converted into a stadium for Wakra Sports Club.
