  Doha: The 51st Amir Cup final match is generating a massive turnout of fans eager to witness the much-awaited game between Al-Sadd and Al-Arabi, which is scheduled to kick off on Friday, May 12 at 7 PM, at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium. Last Friday, the Qatar Football Association (QFA) launched the sale of tickets for the final match on their website - tickets.qfa.qa - in three categories: third, second, and first, priced at 10, 30 and 50 Qatari riyals respectively. Each fan can buy up to a maximum of six tickets. The high demand for tickets came from both Qatari and resident fans, fulfilling the QFA's goal of providing opportunities for all fans to participate and enjoy the game's competitive atmosphere. Tickets are still available for purchase on the website. To purchase tickets electronically, fans can use their Visa or MasterCard and follow the necessary steps to register their data via the QFA website. For any problems regarding the purchase or registration process, fans can reach out to [email protected]. Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium is fully prepared to welcome fans on May 12, with all operational plans in place. Organizers will provide all facilities and services to make the fans' experience enjoyable. The excitement is building up for the final game between Al-Sadd and Al-Arabi and everyone is looking forward to May 12, 2023. The Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium had previously hosted the final of the 48th edition of the tournament in 2020, which saw Al-Sadd beat Al-Arabi 2-1, on the day of its inauguration as the fourth completed stadium for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™️, coinciding with the National Day of the State of Qatar. The stadium, located in the Umm Al-Afai area, which is one of the oldest Qatari settlements and home to Al-Rayyan Sports Club, is inspired by nature and is a man-made marvel. The design of the stadium and the surrounding buildings simulates local culture and traditions, while the exterior facade reflects the ripples of sand dunes. The geometric shapes depict the beauty of the desert, local flora and fauna, as well as local and international trade. More than 80% of the building materials used for the stadium were from the original stadium that previously occupied the site, while the trees around the old stadium were carefully preserved. Fans visiting the stadium can travel through Doha's new environmentally friendly metro system, making it a truly sustainable experience.
