The tournament will be played in the lowest number of stadiums with only 8 stadiums being lined up for the whole event.
Not only this but out of the 8 stadiums, seven of them are set to be new stadiums with Qatar spending a whopping amount of $200 billion USD on infrastructural projects ahead of the world.

The Al Bayt Stadium
Being one of the venues for the world cup, the Al Bayt Stadium will be the venue for the tournament opener on 21st November 2022.
The stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 60,000 and its structure has been designed to be sustainable for long.

Al Rayyan Stadium
Designed with a 360-degree media membrane that will screen live matches, news, and all other updates, the Al Rayyan Stadium you can only dream of.
It has possibly the best viewing experience lined up for the visitors coming for FIFA 2022 as the screen on the outer side of the stadium will play live matches with all camera angles along with the post and pre-match shows.
After the World Cup the stadium will be reduced to 21,000 seats.

Education City Stadium
Located between many university campuses, the Education City Stadium is one of the 8 venues for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2022.
The stadium has been designed in such a way that it glitters during the day while glows during the night.
As for its tiers, the upper tier will be removed post the world cup and the rest with about 25,000 seating capacity will remain for the university events.

Khalifa International Stadium
Having already hosted the 2011 AFC Asian Cup Final and an international friendly between England and Brazil, the Khalifa International Stadium is now set to be the venue for the FIFA World Cup.
The stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 68,030 set for the world cup which was upgraded from its previous 50,000 capacity following the FIFA protocols of maximum stadium capacity.
