FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ travel packages
The FIFA season in Qatar promises to be a month of superlatives. Excellent facilities, exceptional stadiums, exquisite hotels and outstanding leisure options and so much more await visitors arriving in Qatar in 2022. Thousands upon thousands of die-hard fans will find plenty of indulgent activities to experience between games.
From world-class dining scenes, pristine beaches, impressive art and culture and diverse adventure opportunities, Qatar has something for everyone visiting the country. Qatar's iconic museums, ancient forts and high-end retail malls offering world-famous brands will also be vying for the attention of football fans.
During matches, fans will be treated to a collection of the most pioneering stadiums to ever host a FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. 32 countries, 8 venues, 65 matches. Four magnificent games will be played each day during the group stage, which will run over a 12-day period, and see winners and runners-up progress to the round of 16.
Qatar's futuristic venues for the various FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ tournaments are sure to create the perfect backdrop to unforgettable matches. The Al Bayt Stadium, which hosts the opening match is located in the city of Al Khor. The arena takes its name from bayt al sha’ar that translates to Bedouin tents – which inspired the design of this 60,000 capacity, futuristic dream, that comes complete with a retractable roof and innovative cooling technologies.
Not to be outdone, the ground-breaking 40,000-seat Stadium 974 was constructed out of 974 shipping containers, which incidentally is Qatar’s international dialling code. What’s more, the arena is popular for honouring Qatar's rich maritime history and for its remarkable design where the entire set will be dismantled after the World Cup concludes. Stadium 974 is the first arena in the world that was built to be torn down. Its location will become a stylish waterfront recreation area thereafter leaving a sustainable legacy behind.
