    Lusail, Lusail Iconic Stadium (80,000 capacity): Qatar's biggest stadium will host the final on December 18 as well as, amongst other matches, the first semi-final. Built in Lusail, a planned city for a population of 200,000 people situated 15 kilometres north of central Doha, there are plans for the stadium to be transformed into a community hub after the World Cup, with most of its seats being removed and donated elsewhere.

    Al Khor, Al-Bayt Stadium (60,000): The venue for the group-stage showdown between Spain and Germany, as well as the second semi-final, is constructed in the form of a Bedouin tent. There are plans for the upper tier to be removed after the competition. Situated on Qatar's north-east coast, around 35 kilometres from Doha, it is therefore beyond the reach of the capital's metro system, making it one of the harder venues to access for supporters.

    Al Rayyan, Education City Stadium (40,000): Situated among university campuses in Al Rayyan, just to the west of Doha itself, and reachable by metro, the stadium will notably host one of the quarter-finals. Its capacity will be reduced by half after the tournament with plans for the seats to be donated to developing countries. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Al Rayyan, Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium (40,000): The home of one of Qatar's most successful clubs, Al Rayyan, the stadium has been built on the site of the old venue of the same name and is one metro stop beyond the nearby Education City. Located where the city meets the desert, its capacity will also be reduced by half after the tournament. Image Credit: Twitter

    Al Wakrah, Al Janoub Stadium (40,000): Located south of Doha in the city of Al Wakrah, the stadium's design was inspired by the traditional boats used for pearl diving and fishing. Image Credit: AFP

    Doha, Khalifa International Stadium (40,000): Built in 1976, it is the only venue which already existed before Qatar was awarded the World Cup, although it has since been transformed. Hosted the 2011 Asian Cup final and also the final of the 2019 Club World Cup between Liverpool and Flamengo. Will host England's opening-day clash with Iran. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Doha, Al Thumama Stadium (40,000): Situated to the south of central Doha, close to the city's Hamad International Airport, the stadium will host the tournament's opening game between Senegal and the Netherlands as well as one of the quarter-finals, while its capacity will be reduced to 20,000 after the World Cup.

    Doha, Stadium 974 (40,000): Built out of shipping containers on Doha's waterfront, the pop-up stadium will be completely dismantled after the World Cup. The number 974 is the international dialling code for Qatar but also represents the number of containers used for the stadium's construction. Image Credit: Shutterstock
