Ahmed bin Ali Stadium (Arabic: ملعب أحمد بن علي), popularly known as the Al-Rayyan Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Al-Rayyan, Qatar, that is home to Al-Rayyan Sports Club and Al-Kharitiyath Sports Club. The stadium, built in 2003, has a seating capacity of 25,000.
Plans
The stadium will be renovated for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which Qatar will host.[2]The renovation include a huge 'media facade' with a membrane that will act as a screen for projections, news, commercials, sports updates, current tournament information and matches. Seating capacity will be increased to 43,000-44,740 [3] and all seats will be shaded.
The works began by the deconstruction of the stadium on september 2014.[4]
