Construction for the Lusail Stadium which will host the 2022 World Cup final is underway...
Work has begun on Lusail Stadium, the 80,000-seater venue which will host the Qatar 2022 World Cup final, tournament organisers in the Gulf have said. Allowing cameras onto the site for the very first time, officials said they hope the stadium would be completed by 2020.
Lusail, which is some 20 kilometres north of the capital Doha, will also host the opening game of the 2022 tournament.
Ground is currently being cleared on the one million square metres site, but would soon begin to resemble the stadium which the whole world will see in five years' time, said project manager Tamim Loutfi Elabed.
