Al Thumama Stadium by Ibrahim Jaidah Architects & Engineers
The design of Al Thumama stadium, located 12 kilometers south of Doha, is inspired by the woven patterns of a Gahfiya, the traditional headpiece worn by Muslim men in the Arabian region.
In addition to its design, the surrounding area investigates the significance of ecological and contextual architecture, aiming for 4-star Global Sustainability Assessment System Trust (GSAS) certification for design and construction.
The stadium saves 40% more fresh water than a traditional stadium by irrigating green areas with recycled water. The design incorporates 50,000 square meters of park space, with native trees covering 84% of the landscape. The stadium was dedicated on October 22, 2021, during the 49th Amir Cup Final.
