Hole emerges in ground outside Qatar World Cup stadium where final will be held

A hole has been spotted outside the Lusail Iconic Stadium that will hold the final match of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Multi-media producer and journalist Mohammad Saleh uploaded footage to social media of him appearing to be outside the giant stadium in Lusail city.

Outside one of the ‘flags and banners evaluation’ areas, Saleh found a hole made of two concrete slabs in a walkway that had caved in.

In the clip, later shared today by SPORTBible, Saleh jokingly pretended to stumble into it as he says: ‘Oh my, God.’

Lusail, about 15 miles north of Doha, is both the largest and newest of the eight stadiums built or converted for the tournament.

Designed to reflect traditional hand-crafted bowls common across the Arab world, it will host 10 World Cup matches in all.

The showpiece stadium has an estimated cost of around $767 million, or about £691,000,000.

It’s owned by the country’s football governing body, Qatar Football Association.
