Al Thumama Stadium, Football stadium in Al Thumama district, Qatar.

Al Thumama Stadium is a football ground in the Al Thumama district of Doha, Qatar, about 13 km south of the city centre and near Hamad International Airport. Its circular design by architect Ibrahim Jaidah draws on the taqiyah, the cap worn by men across the Middle East. The photo shows a continuous bowl of dark green seats in two tiers, a white roof ring on radial supports, and a pink ceremonial cloth laid on the pitch.

Al Thumama Stadium opened on 22 October 2021, hosting the Emir Cup final between Al Rayyan and Al Sadd. In May 2018 the project won the MIPIM/Architectural Review Future Project Award in the Sports and Stadiums category. It staged six matches of the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup, including a semi-final between Qatar and Algeria, then eight 2022 World Cup matches and six at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.

The name Thumama comes from a thorny desert plant native to the Qatari landscape, which Bedouins have used for various practical purposes for centuries. The geometric pattern on the facade recalls the weaving techniques still applied today in making traditional headwear.

The arena sits about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) south of central Doha and can be reached by several road connections and the metro line. Parking areas are available around the site, but public transit offers a more practical option on match days.

After the tournament, the upper half of the seating areas will be removed and the recovered materials are planned for reuse in other sports projects. The remaining facility will then house both a medical center and a small hotel.
