Tuesday’s match will be played at the Al-Bayt Stadium in Al-Khor, a city located in northern Qatar, about 50 km (31 miles) from the capital Doha.
The stadium’s capacity is 68,895 and given that it was built for the World Cup, it’s no surprise that the record attendance was Friday night’s match between England and the United States with 68,463.
Al-Bayt has already hosted a Qatar match -its debut against Ecuador- and also witnessed the goalless draw between Morocco and Croatia.
