The Jassim bin Hamad Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Doha, Qatar. It is currently used mostly for football matches and it also has facilities for athletics. The football team Al-Sadd plays there. The stadium, originally built in 1974, was rebuilt in 2004 for the Arabian Gulf Cup and currently has a capacity of 12,946 people. The stadium is also used as the home stadium of the Qatar national football team. The stadium was named after the former Minister of Education Jassim bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al-Thani, who had provided permission for the club’s founding in 1969.
As this is Al Sadd's home stadium they play their home league matches there and in the 2009–2010 season, it was shared with the other Qatari side Al Ahli. And whenever Al Sadd scores a goal a sound of a wolf howling comes out of the stadium's speakers because the clubs' nick or mascot is the wolf.
Aside from the main field, the stadium area also accommodates an administration office, a cafe, a mosque, workers' quarters, an athletics track, training fields, a swimming pool, and a multi-sports hall. The multi-sports hall has a capacity of 1,000 people and is used for local tournaments in basketball, volleyball, handball, and other sports and events.
The Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium hosts both Al Sadd and Al Rayyan matches in the QSL. The stadium is regularly used for prestige football matches. During the 2014/2015 season, the stadium witnessed the Italian Super Copa between Napoli and Juventus. The ground has been developed extensively down the years, with the latest renovation happening in 2010
