Stadium 974 (Arabic: استاد ٩٧٤, romanized: ʾIstād 974, previously known as Ras Abu Aboud Stadium) is a football stadium in Ras Abu Aboud, Doha, Qatar, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south-east of central Doha. Officially opened on 30 November 2021, Stadium 974 was the first planned temporary venue in FIFA World Cup history, however dismantling has still not happened.
The stadium hosted test matches during the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup and was a landmark venue during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Originally, the legacy planned to dismantle the stadium and move it to Africa or South America, with the former site to be transformed into a waterfront development. However, as of 2025, this has not happened and the stadium currently sits in its original site. Most recently, the venue was used for the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, the 2024 Trophée des Champions and the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup.
