The Fan Zone can house more than 5,000 fans for each game. Fans can choose their preferred seating from a variety of options. Those looking to watch the games in a private setting can choose from 16 VIP skyboxes at an updated price of 1,500 QAR each from 30 June until 14 July and at a cost of 2,000 QAR on the final day of the tournament on 15 July.
