Al-Bayt Stadium (Arabic: استاد البيت, romanized: ʾIstād al-Bayt, lit. 'The House Stadium')[2][3] is a retractable roof football stadium in Al Khor, Qatar, which was opened in time for matches in the 2022 FIFA World Cup,[4] which began on 20 November 2022.[5] The stadium is located 35 km away from Doha, which made it the furthest stadium from the capital that was used in the World Cup.[5][6] The stadium's construction contract was awarded to Qatari contractor Galfar Al Misnad,[7] Webuild S.p.A. and Cimolai in 2015.[8]
