The country will get its first glimpse of the visually stunning and culturally important 40,000 capacity venue on 18 December when the stadium plays host to Al Sadd and Al Arabi and spectators can capture the event’s highlights via 5G smartphones powered by Vodafone Qatar’s incredibly fast 5G network.
Al Rayyan Stadium is the third Qatar 2022 stadium to be covered with Vodafone GigaNet 5G, following Al Janoub and Education City.
As Qatar’s 2022 World Cup preparations accelerate, so will fans’ expectation for super-fast connectivity. The ability to share videos, pictures and messages with people online will be an important aspect of the fan experience and with more than a million people expected to travel to the Middle East’s first World Cup, the level of connectivity and sharing will be exceptional.

Vodafone Qatar is fully prepared to deliver this experience not only in the stadiums but across the country.
