The design
for the new Al Khor stadium, a proposed 2022 FIFA World Cup™ host venue, will be unveiled at a press conference at Al Khor Sports Club on the morning of Saturday 21 June. A model of the new stadium will then be displayed at an event for the local Al Khor and Al Thakhira communities at Al Thakhira Youth Centre during the afternoon.
At the community event, the future development of the city will be showcased to the local communities of Al Khor and Al Thakhira. The event will be jointly hosted by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy and the Aspire Zone Foundation, who will deliver the stadium.
In addition to showcasing future developments, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy will host two majlises to allow local residents to discuss and debate the plans for the community with representatives of local organisations. The majlises will take place on Saturday between 4pm – 6pm and 7pm – 9pm.
Each majlis will be hosted by a local organisation and will feature members of the Al Khor community discussing their success stories and sharing their knowledge with those in attendance. All residents of Al Khor, Al Thakhira and the surrounding communities are encouraged to attend and participate in the majlis discussions.
In addition to the majlises, there will be a host of activities on offer. These will include:
- An interactive exhibition of the new Al Khor stadium design
- The opportunity to be photographed with a 3D model of the new stadium design
- A quiz on Al Khor stadium with the opportunity to win tickets to the 2014 FIFA World CupTM
