Al Janoub Stadium, formerly known as Al Wakrah Stadium, is a football stadium in Al-Wakrah, Qatar that was inaugurated on 16 May 2019. This is the second among the eight stadiums for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, after the renovation of Khalifa International Stadium. Al Janoub Stadium was previously used in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup, also hosted by Qatar. It was designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid together with the firm AECOM.
The stadium features a curvilinear postmodernist and neo-futurist design. The appearance of the roof was inspired by the sails of traditional Dhow boats, used by pearl divers from the region, weaving through currents of the Persian Gulf.
The stadium includes a football stadium as well as an athletics track. It will be the official seat of the football club Al-Wakrah SC, where matches for the Qatar Stars League will be held. The capacity of the stadium is 40,000, which is expected to reduce in half to 20,000 after the World Cup.

Al Janoub Stadium will host seven matches during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
