The stadium will host the 2019 Amir Cup final between Al Sadd and Al Duhail, becoming the second stadium after the Khalifa International Stadium to be delivered by Qatar's Supreme Commitee (SC) for Delivery and Legacy for the 2022 showpiece event.
An inauguration ceremony was held before the match as the 40000-capacity venue was thrown open to the world.
