Construction


The stadium is located on the outskirts of the capital Doha and has a capacity of 40,000 seats. It has been given the nickname "Diamond in the Desert".[3][4] With 20 percent of its building materials identified as green, the stadium is among the world's most environmentally sustainable stadiums. In May 2019, Education City Stadium received a five-star GSAS rating.[5][6]

The build contractor is JPAC JV, who appointed Pattern Design as the lead design architect, and Buro Happold for the engineering design.[7] Like other stadiums built for the purpose of the 2022 FIFA World Cup it has been criticized for the working conditions for migrant workers, also by Amnesty International.[8]

However, on 15 March 2022, FIFA president met with Qatar Minister of Labor, Dr. Ali bin Samikh Al Marri in Doha & discussed the labor reforms taking place in the country.[9] On 16 March 2022 Infantino addressed in an interview “I am pleased to see the strong commitment from the Qatari authorities to ensure the reforms are fully implemented across the labor market, leaving a lasting legacy of the FIFA World Cup long after the event, and benefiting migrant workers in the host country in the long term.[10]


Fifa World Cup Qatar


The Education City Stadium is one of eight stadiums being converted for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar.[11] The construction of the stadium was completed in June 2020, making it the third World Cup stadium to be completed.[6] It officially opened on 15 June 2020.[12]


History


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.[13] 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.[14] Thus, Liverpool's opener, the final, and the third place match were all moved to the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.[15]

The 2020 FIFA Club World Cup was once again held in Qatar. The Education City Stadium was one of the venues.[16] 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.[17] In 2020 the Education City Stadium hosted the East and West Zone matches of the 2020 AFC Champions League.[16]

The stadium hosted five matches during FIFA Arab Cup 2021.[18]

Like other stadiums constructed for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Education City Stadium has been subject to controversy on account of the treatment and status of migrant workers employed at the construction sites.[19] In a report, Amnesty International criticizes Qatar for failing to investigate, remedy and prevent migrant workers' deaths.[20]

On 5 October 2022, the head of the International Trade Union Confederation claimed that Qatar has changed substantially regarding the way it conducts foreign employees and is now qualified to host the World Cup in 2022. Qatar received a barrage of criticism in the past for its track record over how it treats foreign workers prior to the start of the international competition on November 20. General Secretary of International Trade Union Confederation, Sharan Burrow told AFP - “We said in 2015 there should be no World Cup without workers' rights, I can honestly say now that my advice to fans is go to the World Cup, have fun”.[21] According to the Sharan Burrow, Qatar still has to make progress on implementing the new laws and claimed that death of 6000 migrant workers over the past decade were a myth.[22]
