It is currently the second largest football stadium in Asia but eventually will reduce its current capacity of 88,966 to 40,000 in the near future.[6][7][8]
The stadium is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Doha, in the city of Lusail.[9] Lusail Stadium was inaugurated on 9 September 2022 with the Lusail Super Cup game.[10]
