Drone footage of Lusail Stadium

Lusail Stadium, designed by Foster + Partners for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, evokes a glimmering golden ornament, casting the structure as the crowning glory of the waterfront development in Lusail, to the north of Doha. Placed atop a landscaped podium—similar to most of the new World Cup venues—the stadium’s simple yet expressive curved form rests on V-shaped perimeter supports that frame entrance and exit gates along the surrounding public concourse. Above, the main volume was devised through contextual design studies that aimed to optimise the stadium’s architecture to Qatar’s climate while also accounting for FIFA regulations.
