Issued to commemorate the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar — the first World Cup held in the Middle East and the first played in November-December rather than the traditional summer window, a scheduling concession to Qatar's extreme summer heat. Al Bayt Stadium, the coin's namesake, was built in Al Khor to resemble a traditional Bedouin tent and seated over 60,000 for the tournament's opening match.
