2025 FIFA U17 World Cup Final at Khalifa International Stadium
The 2025 FIFA U17 World Cup in Qatar is poised for a historic finale, with Portugal and Austria meeting for the title at the Khalifa International Stadium, located in the Aspire Zone near Doha.
The choice of venue is symbolic: the stadium is one of Qatar’s most storied arenas and a central pillar of the country’s modern sports infrastructure.
A landmark venue for a landmark tournament
The 2025 edition has already broken barriers as the first-ever 48-team FIFA World Cup at any level, expanding the youth competition into a true global festival.
Despite the scale, Qatar’s execution has been impressively smooth. Hosting 104 matches in just 25 days could easily have tested even the most advanced organisers. Instead:
-
Aspire Zone provided world-class infrastructure,
-
Eight match-ready training pitches, and
-
Seamless logistics for athletes, officials, and fans.
This backbone allowed the tournament to run with precision, ensuring squads from every continent could perform at their best without off-field disruption.
Khalifa International Stadium: A fitting stage for young champions
Opened in 1976 and significantly modernised for the FIFA World Cup 2022, Khalifa International Stadium is a venue that marries history with cutting-edge design.
Located right within the Aspire Zone, the ground is a familiar landmark for many current footballing stars who once competed here during youth or club tournaments.
Notable features:
-
Capacity around 45,000, ideal for a packed youth final.
-
A distinctive dual-arch silhouette—one of Qatar’s most recognisable sporting icons.
-
Advanced cooling technology, ensuring optimal playing conditions even under Qatar’s desert climate.
-
Proven record of hosting elite events: World Athletics Championships 2019, 2022 FIFA World Cup fixtures, and numerous continental finals.
For the rising talents of Portugal and Austria, the stadium has likely been the dream destination from the moment they stepped foot in Qatar—the final horizon after weeks of grueling youth competition.
