The 80,000 capacity Lusail Stadium will host the 2022 men's football World Cup final.
The venue was designed by British studio Foster + Partners, and was purpose-built for the tournament.
Located 20 km north of central Doha, it will stage six group matches before being one of the chosen stadiums for each knockout round, culminating in the final itself.
The stadium's bowl shape and intricate design is a nod to the decorative motifs found on bowls across the Arab world.
The first match at the stadium is between Argentina and Saudi Arabia on November 22.
