During the 2006 Asian Games, it served as one of five venues used for football matches. The stadium’s 1,050-capacity indoor hall hosted taekwondo, karate and judo matches. Both were renovated for the occasion.[2]
In 2010, it hosted the Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix, the first meeting of the 2010 Diamond League.[3] Some of the matches from the 2011 AFC Asian Cup were held in this stadium.[4] In March 2014, it was announced that the stadium would host the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships.[5]
