DOHA: A Qatar Football Association delegation has visited the Khalifa International Stadium ahead of the national team's World Cup qualifying game against China next month. The inspection visit saw QFA officials inquiring about the readiness of the venue for the high profile match set to be played on September 5. The Qatar vs China match will be the second football fixture hosted by Khalifa International Stadium after the Emir Cup final staged in May. The upcoming match will be another valuable opportunity for those who have not seen the stadium, a QFA official said on Monday. The stadium is a 2022 World Cup venue fully renovated with LED lighting system and air conditioning system. FIFA President Gianni Infantino was present at the Emir Cup final.
