The stadium was designed by London-based Zaha Hadid Architects. It draws inspiration from the traditional pearl fishing boats, or dhows, of the people of Al Wakrah.

One of the most unique features of the stadium is its retractable roof. The PTFE material used to build the roof was inspired by the traditional pearl fishing boats. The roof provides shade and also lowers the demand for cooling systems.
The stadium will be host to Al Wakrah SC, a local football team. The team requires half of the stadium’s capacity. This will mean that the upper tier will be demountable, and will be donated to other sporting projects.

The stadium is also powered by solar energy. The interior space is planned to be used for community football pitches, schools, health clinics, and shops. The stadium is planned to be the centrepiece of Lusail City, which will eventually have 200,000 residents.
The stadium was built using water-efficient fixtures and leak detection systems. The stadium is also powered by solar collectors that provide energy for the car parks. It is also one of the most sustainable stadiums in the world. The stadium was built with 40% less water than similar projects.
