Doha: The official spokesperson of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), Khalid Al Naama, said that the inauguration of Al Thumama Stadium is a new milestone on the way to hosting the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup, especially since the stadium witnessed the first model of air conditioning that was adopted in the World Cup stadiums during one of the FIFA inspection visits in 2009, through a 500-seat miniature model.
Al Naama stated in a statement that the Qatar football team, the 2019 AFC Asian Cup winners, held their preparations for the Asian Championship in the vicinity of the Al Thumama Stadium.
On the latest preparations for the upcoming Amir Cup final, which will witness the inauguration of the stadium, Al Naama said that everyone knows the importance of this event at the level of the sports schedule of Qatar, especially since the final will bring together two of the best clubs in the country, Al Sadd and Al Rayyan.
