Proposed expansion

As part of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup bid, the stadium was planned to be expanded to 44,740, and be rebuilt with a facade made up the colours of flags of the world.[4] The modular design of the second tier was to allow for easy disassembly after the World Cup. The expansion did not take place, and other venues will host games at Qatar 2022.[5]
