Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, about 14 miles (22 km) south of Doha, was designed by Zaha Hadid with AECOM and Jain & Partners. The Qatar Football Association is the client. Construction ran from 2014 to 2019, and it opened on May 16, 2019. The article states no cost and calls the style curvilinear, postmodernist and neo-futurist.
The roof is pleated PTFE fabric supported by cables, with arches about 755 feet (230 m) long. It is retractable and is inspired by the sails of traditional dhows. A cooling system suits the hot climate, and the surface is grass. The field measures 105 by 68 meters.
The infobox lists capacity at 44,325, while the text says it is now 20,000, down from 40,000 before the World Cup. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
