DOHA: The completion of 40,000-capacity Education City Stadium of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will be marked during special 60-minute programmes in both Arabic and English on beIN SPORTS on Monday night, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) said on Sunday.
It was the third tournament venue after renovated Khalifa International and Al Janoub Stadiums respectively.
HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson and CEO of QF, said: “The eyes of the world will be on this stadium when it hosts matches as the World Cup comes to Qatar and the region in 2022, but its value will extend far beyond the tournament.”
Located in the heart of Education City – Qatar’s education, research and innovation hub – the venue is slated to host matches up to the quarter-finals stage during the tournament.
The ‘Road to FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022’ Arabic show will commemorate the stadium’s completion and official unveiling while the English show will feature special guests who debate the future of sport in a post-pandemic world.
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Chairman and Secretary General of the SC, Hassan Al Thawadi, said: “The completion of the third tournament-ready venue is a proud moment for the SC, QF and the entire country. We remain on track to deliver the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world – and hope to unveil two more stadiums by the end of the year.”
Notable guests will include FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 CEO, Nasser Al Khater, FIFA Technical Director and former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, Bundesliga CEO, Christian Siefert, and Belgium national team manager, Roberto Martinez, among others.
The Arabic show will be broadcast on beIN SPORTS HD1 at 7 PM Doha time. The English show will air simultaneously on beIN SPORTS HD11.
Both shows will be streamed via the SC and QF’s social media accounts, along with the beIN SPORTS free-to-air channel.
