Education City Stadium is a football stadium which is located in Al Rayyan, Qatar, and was built as a venue for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar. The stadium is located within several university campuses at the Qatar Foundation's Education City. Following the FIFA World Cup, the stadium will retain 25,000 seats for use by university athletic teams. On 3 September 2020, the stadium hosted its first official match, played in the 2020–21 Qatar Stars League season.
2019 and 2020 FIFA Club World Cup[]
On 30 September 2019, FIFA announced the Education City Stadium as the host of the third place match and final of the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup, with the tournament being held in Qatar. The stadium would also have hosted Liverpool’s first match in the semi-finals, but on 7 December 2019, the official opening of Education City Stadium was postponed until early 2020. Thus, Liverpool's opener, the final, and the third place match were all moved to the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.
The 2020 FIFA Club World Cup was once again held in Qatar, with the Education City Stadium now ready to hold matches. One second round match, one semi-final match, the third place match and the final between Bayern Munich and UANL all took place in the stadium.
2022 FIFA World Cup[]
Education City Stadium will host eight matches during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
