Khalifa International Stadium (Arabic: ستاد خليفة الدولي), also known as National Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Doha, Qatar. Prior to the 2006 Asian Games, it was used mostly for football matches, but it includes facilities for many other sports. The stadium has a capacity of 50,000. Khalifa stadium was the main venue for the Doha 2006 Asian Games, and is part of the Doha Sports City complex, which also includes Aspire Academy, Hamad Aquatic Centre, and the Aspire Tower. Full renovation of the stadium was completed in 2005. It is currently the stadium of Qatar national football team.
The stadium was originally opened in 1976, but was fully renovated and expanded prior to the Asian Games in order to increase its capacity from 20,000 to 50,000. A roof has also been built on the Western side of the stadium, along with a large arch on the Eastern side which was used as a platform for the launch of fireworks during the 2006 Asian Games opening ceremony.
The venue hosted an international friendly football match between Brazil and England on November 14, 2009.
The Venue also hosted the athletics of the 2009 ISF World School Games, held between December 8 - December 12, 2009.
150 metres (165 yards) there is a unique cooling tunnel into the air-conditioned Khalifa stadium where the climate is maintained at a pleasant 23-25 degrees.

Thanks to a three-year renovation and expansion project, the national icon was transformed into an ultramodern venue equipped with cutting-edge features such as air-conditioning technology, LED lighting and digital floodlights, providing optimal performance conditions for athletes and an unparalleled viewing experience for spectators.
