Ahmad bin Ali Stadium by BDP Pattern, Ramboll, and AECOM
The Ahmad bin Ali stadium in Al Rayyan, home to one of Qatar’s most celebrated football teams, celebrates its close-knit community by incorporating symbols of Qatari culture and traditions.
The undulating façade, made of patterns that characterize different aspects of the country, such as “the importance of family, the beauty of the desert, native flora and fauna, as well as local and international trade,” is one of the main design features.
A lightweight canopy and advanced cooling systems will protect 40,000 fans while ensuring maximum comfort during the matches. The stadium, dubbed the “gateway to the desert,” will open its doors in December 2020 during the Amir Cup final.
