Lusail Stadium, Football stadium in Lusail, Qatar
This football stadium in Lusail features a capacity of 88,966 seats and was designed by Foster and Partners with a distinctive curved roof and faceted facade inspired by traditional lamps.
Construction began on April 11, 2017, and the stadium officially opened on November 21, 2021, specifically built to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and France on December 18, 2022.

This collection gathers the largest stadiums on the planet, ranked by seating capacity. From the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, India, which hosts major cricket matches, to the vast American university arenas dedicated to football, and the May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, these sports facilities demonstrate the scale that infrastructures for competitions and mass gatherings can reach. Each stadium has its own identity: some are exclusively dedicated to a specific sport, while others serve as flexible venues capable of hosting various events. Their sizes enable them to accommodate between 100,000 and over 150,000 spectators, providing organizers the opportunity to gather large crowds for international competitions, national finals, or major ceremonies.
