The "Diamond in the Desert" stadium, which has 45,350 seats, is one of eight places that will host matches during the football tournament, which will be held in the Middle East in 2022.
The London design was based on a concept invented by the Spanish studio Fenwick-Iribarren Architects.

Its façade consists of a mosaic triangle pattern that takes the form of Arabic architecture, and is designed to distract the strong sunlight in the country, and the facade can be illuminated at night.
"Like diamonds, the stadium design represents quality, durability and flexibility, and it will become something worth getting rich, both for the memories it holds and for its future value for the country."
The stadium has received a five-star sustainability rating from the Global Sustainability Assessment System.

The top layer of seats will be removed to reduce the stadium capacity to 20,000, and parts of the building will be converted into classrooms and event venues for use by universities.
