Al Bayt Stadium, which will welcome the world's best players at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, is close to completion.

The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) tweeted a latest picture of the stadium from outside, which showed that the landscaping and beautification works are almost done. The stadium and surrounding looks breathtaking in the photo.

The greenery and the water bodies are a treat to the eye and the unique design adds to its visual appeal. 

The 60,000 locally produced seats for fans are almost all installed. The stadium’s inner architecture is nearly finished and the tunnels that players will emerge from in 2022 are ready. 
Outside the stadium, grass and trees are nearly fully planted throughout the precinct. Lakes and water features have also been created.
According to SC website, the stadium's steel roof structure is now finished and its façade, which resembles the tents used throughout Qatar's history, is also complete.
Fans arriving at this arena would have never seen anything like it - a giant tent structure covers the stadium located in Al Khor. The stadium will host matches right through to the FIFA World Cup 2022 semi-finals.
Being delivered by Aspire Zone Foundation, the stadium takes its name from bayt al sha'ar – tents historically used by nomadic peoples in Qatar and the Gulf region.
